Hard hit to passenger side wheel need help!

I have a 1994 Firebird race car that I race on a paved oval track. This saturday I had two cars holding me up lap after lap after lap and finally one of em got loose and slid up the track so I filled the hole with my car and went three wide. I blew past the car in the middle and the car to outside of that one also got passed her and we were the normal two wide again. Then we went down into turn one and the car that I just passed must not of liked the move I made to get passed her even though it was clean and she felt the need to drive it in to 1 really hard to make it three wide again when there wasnt even a hole for her car to fit in and on top of that the idiot drove it in to hard got loose and piled into my door which sent me up the track and absoultly SMASHING into the car to the outside of me. The first hard hit was to the passenger side tire/fender at like 60-70 mph and the next to my quater panel giving it a hell of a dent. I held onto it and managed to drive by both of them but after that my car would barley handle and the front end was bounceing/shaking. After I finished the race and brought my car in we measured the tow and it was out 1" 1/4 when we started it ONLY towed out an 1/8 of an inch. So we bent or tweaked something pretty good but not sure what because everything looks fine. So heres my question to you guys what could cause my front end to bounce/shake after a hard hit and what could i have bent to knock my tow out that far? I know the newest model firebird/camaro that this forum is susposed to cover is 1992 but I figured you guys would probally still have knowledge about the newer style. Thanks in advance any ideas are much appreciate. -Burrows Racing
