Post by: Jason Foster on February 08, 2008, 08:01:32 am From what I saw he would of been going home he walked from the crash and was completely cohearant and not a visible scratch on him.

Post by: mg on February 13, 2008, 01:42:48 am Lee terrible to see, other than your car damage it appears you were very lucky not to be hit by the other car or hurt in the crash.
That car must have a zillion passes on it, hope the expensive drive train is OK. Perhaps driver safety needs a thread of its own. Accidents give me cause to reflect on my own safety equipment. For example. Racers with low back bug seats and a lap belt might consider… Basic 5 point belts with a racing seat designed for the anti submarine belt. A full face helmet and a HANS type device. FYI amateur road racers will be required to wear a HANs devices starting this summer. I bet Lee is already looking for a donor car. ;) Title: Re: Lee Gong OK after bad crash at Irwindale. Post by: WCB Hitler's Hot Rod on February 13, 2008, 06:58:42 am Damn that sucks. Glad he is o.k. tho.
Title: Re: Lee Gong OK after bad crash at Irwindale. Post by: alex d on February 13, 2008, 11:15:31 am scary crash, real lucky not to hit the other car...I wonder what happened? broken axle?
Title: Re: Lee Gong OK after bad crash at Irwindale. Post by: ESH on February 13, 2008, 12:13:59 pm Nasty looking crash, pleased to read Lee's OK.
Title: Re: Lee Gong OK after bad crash at Irwindale. Post by: 71CALRIPPER on February 13, 2008, 14:10:34 pm Such a clean car , guess he will have to build it back up to something even better :)
Title: Re: Lee Gong OK after bad crash at Irwindale. Post by: mg on February 13, 2008, 18:54:43 pm Such a clean car , guess he will have to build it back up to something even better :) I think Lee's car (Tim's motor) is one of the quickest aspirated (non nitrous) street driven cars in So Cal. For years Lee has run strong 11s and drove it to the car shows too. I bet it will be back, quicker and 200lbs lighter. 8) Title: Re: Lee Gong OK after bad crash at Irwindale.

Title: Re: Lee Gong OK after bad crash at Irwindale. Post by: Stephen schmidt on April 14, 2020, 16:30:29 pm scary crash, real lucky not to hit the other car...I wonder what happened? broken axle? I'm bumping this thread because I recently purchased a "demon bugs" book (Great book Stephan) and was also curious what caused this accident. Broken axle? was he still running a ZF or spool at the time? Stephen Title: Re: Lee Gong OK after bad crash at Irwindale. Post by: Martin S. on April 14, 2020, 16:57:23 pm Wow they are close together, lucky for him! Lee, get checked out even if you feel ok.
