my camaro hit some hay!
so I do some road racing at Firebird International Raceway.. While I upgraded my brakes added a brake duct and then swapped the hawk HPS+ pads for a set of Carbotech xps8.. anyways needless to say brakes locked the tires up and slid into a hay wall on that turn.
bent both front rims, right spindle, jack up my exhaust, pinched my fuel lines because the car landed on top of the tires in the pics below...

That sucks bigtime! At least you're ok, my friend drove his mustang into a tire wall at firebird a few years ago. The stang didn't hold up as well as your Camaro.

Re: my camaro hit some hay!
I should have started this thread way back when the damage was done.. right now the car is undergoing a 4th gen gas tank swap. I repainted the car and am uploading all of the restore pics right now... to post in here just a little later

what kinda stang and did it hit the passenger side on front at the Main track?
