I'm thinkin he must be at least 70. Even for somebody in their 30's that is nasty. Looked just like Bobby Gunther Walsh's crash at G-view the other week

Just turned 70 and his 50th wedding anniversary. I spoke to Mike and he said his father was tired of looking at that car just sitting there completely race ready so he said he would take it out

I just got done watching the Thursday event (Fonda) on Flo.

Sure looked like a payback from the #35.

The #33 (Mahaney) pinched the #35 (Curtis?) a little on the initial start off of turn 4, and then again going into one (racing deal - I doubt the #33 had any idea that the #35 was there).  Two corners later, going into turn #3, #35 flew it in on the inside at a rate even a grandstand/sofa watcher like me could see that the car would never be able to hold the bottom at that speed/entry, and was no surprise when it pushed up a lane or more, but was a surprise was the additional fade to the right by the #35, punting the #33 into the outside wall/tires.

Hard hit.  Glad to see the #33 land on it's wheels, and see the driver eventually climb out of his car.  Not so glad to see the driver of the #35 then end up just making a pits stop, and then rejoin the race like business as usual.

Mike said his dad just got in over the berm and lost it, no payback.

That's nice of him, but go to Flo replay section, and go to "Short Track Super Series Fonda 200", "Full Replay Fonda 200 Thursday at Fonda Speedway 9/14/23", and fast forward to the 1:39:25 time stamp and watch to 1:39:50 and let me know what you think. 

I'm not seeing a lot of "got up on the berm," but I am seeing that the #35 really sailed it into #3, and makes contact with the #33, and the #33 goes hard into the wall as a result.

I guess Mike didn't see the action, you were right!
