?????

 

really did he hit the wall or something?

 

in qualifying dragracecentral said he coasted spun and hit the wall. he did compete the following day. i hope everyone is ok and the damage is minimal.-pdang

 

car is pretty hurt.. he got a good side of the ladder and had 2 or 3 competition singles so he would stage to get points and then just back out of the beams

 

i dont think it has to anything with the skinnies. doesnt bisi run a tire that small??

 

Jeremy said it had nothing to do with them. I will let him give us more insight on this matter.

 

I had a feeling that this topic would rear its ugly head again.

With over 350 passes, I have not had any problems with my 17s. The 3.0" contact patch is similar to the 15s.

I have experienced better stability with them, even over 139mph, due to the lower profile. I always felt a slight "drift" with the popular front runners everyone else runs when racing over 100mph.

I wish Jeremy the best with his program, and a speedy come-back to events.

 

I'm not sure who loofsky is but...

Jeremy will have a hard time saying what exactly happened, because it happened so fast... BUT we are sure it was not because of the skinnys, Jeremy has made about a dozen passes on the 17x3's with no problem... we think there was a suspension failure under deceleration which caused the car to Turn hard right and slap the wall... The car does have some damage but will be back soon!

Some picures of the car are up on Urbanracer... http://www.urbanracer.com/gall...ge=17

I'm guessing but I would have to say the same crx he always races. What.......you dont think its capable of 139????????

 

i saw jeremys car on sunday and he didn't have the black racing hart skinnies on, he had some silver ones on. Looked like the whole right rear end was pushed down. Best of luck to the team and the 2004 season and a quick recovery.

What car do you think???? No one knows what we have done in testing.... People will be suprised what we have done in private testing..... The reason that Jeremy had his other rims on is because he damaged them when he crashed!!!!
Hope to see Jeremy soon and hope the car is not damaged too much

Making sure it was the crx, If you guys went over 139 mph thats amazing considering that no one has gone faster than 136 at an event yet ( am I right if someone went faster at an event feel free to respond)


I know this wasnt the topic sorry to the other honda-tech members

We did win Best appearing car... a good consolation prize! the Right side of the car never hit anything... so that side looks good as new! thanks to all the Staff at NHRA that made the weekend somewhat of a success!

Not the way we like to do it, but because of some dumb luck we were able to limp the car into the semifinals and score some valuable points... Even with the crash and only making one pass down the track! The DVS / L'Natural Team currently sits #2 in Points!

 

Jeremy, Jerry and the rest of the team. Best of luck on the rest of the season. Looks like you guys are going to have a busy year.
