PRO STOCK FENDER BENDER IN NORWALK
Train wrecks aren’t coordinated as well as the incident that transpired
following the final Pro Stock qualifying session for the Summit Racing
Equipment NHRA Nationals. Two Pro Stockers incurred a measure of damage
in an accident which involved three race cars and a golf cart.
According to eyewitness reports, a gust of wind suddenly thrust Rodger
Brogdon’s parachute into Rickie Jones’ wheelie bars and caused Jones’
Mopar to run up on the wheelie bars of a parked Kurt Johnson whose
Chevrolet Cobalt was forced into his team’s golf cart.
"It's only a little cosmetic damage," said Johnson crewmember Justin
Belfance. "We'll clean it up, brush it with a coat of resin and then
we'll put on a layer of carbon matting. Once that sets up and hardens,
we'll flip it over, take off the duct tape on the outside, lightly
grind it, put a finish coat on, that will straighten it right out. It
should dry quickly today because of the heat so we're looking at about
a two-hour job. We'll get it fixed and be ready for tomorrow."
