Well it happen again,Ken Fisher layed his beautiful new car on it's side at its very first race meeting.After reading lots of appions on usa web sites, it looks like he was very skatting all the way down track ,then at 3/4 track he may have just simplely over correct or just couldn't keep up with the fish tailing of the car. The damage is very miner with paint,door edge, front nose cone damage.Driver is well but this brings me to other VERY IMPORTANT THOUGHTS. Over the years I have seen so many vehicles crash on first pass or first race meeting,or after doing magor changers to car (more power,chassis work,suspension changers) This is true!!!! lots of times they try to hard to soon or think with there foot,or backside, other then there brain!!!!! In dragracing we call it shake down passes.Well this means starting of slow or startline launches, then half passes ,then full pass to half track,then tippy toes full passes ,then after all that you might be reading for a full power pass .Track good,car going straight,driver feeling how car behaves (good and bad) DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cry .Even when I went to Sydney my first pass was cautious .
