That beautiful airborne car is our own Randy from the Kansas City VCA. '99 GTS in black with a Connolly interior and roll bar. The car not only landed shiny-side-up, but had very little damage, all things considered. The main expense will come from the hood, which was nailed when it hit the tire barrier. It did not break ANY glass (not even a crack) and the doors open and close flawlessly. I will tell you what, Dodge builds this car RIGHT!
Randy's wife chose not to accompany him this weekend and so did not suffer heart failure as a witness. Randy is a VERY good driver, always pushing it to the edge (and sometimes beyond). He was an SCCA instructor for many years. He tells us that because of the rain earlier, the tires in the barrier were wet and also full of water. Rather than hitting them and sending them flying, he slid off of them and went airborne. The car was sent back with Autoform. Randy is planning to retire the car at this point, as the cost of racing is a bit too high (no insurance, of course). Fortunately, Randy did not suffer even a scratch. He just went home heartbroken.
