We had a bad day the SS300. We started up front with a slower car and knew most of the 1000s would pass us but hoped to make it up over the course of the race. We did not get a chance. We were just shooting for a finish. This was taken away at mile 30 right after pit 1.
As we left pit 1 on the fast part going down the hill towards the lake bed we were passed by 2 or 3 cars on the left side that used their horns/sirens and we were all the way on the right side of the course. In all the dust another car attempted to pass us on the right side for some reason. We were all the way on the right side of the course. I think it was the Perkins car but im not 100% on this since I only got a glimce as they hit our car mid passenger door and sent us rolling 4 or 5 times.
Im not sure why they tryed to pass on the right in all the dust and did not use a horn/siren. I dont think it was intentional to make contact but I cant figure out why they did that.
Were a little upset that no one stopped as were were rolling. Maybe they did see it happen in all the dust.
After the roll we lost all power and were unable to contact our pit or BITD. We stopped another 1900 car and asked them to relay the info to BITD and have them contact our pit. This did not happen. We spent over 2 hours working on the car to get it in some kind of shape to limp it back to pit 1.
Once we got to pit we found out that BITD and our pit were never told of the roll and of course the IRC did not work.
Both of us in the car were not badly injured. If we were injured im glad to know we could have sat 1 mile out of the pit with no help and no info relayed.
I have a video from in the car and on the hood. You can see a yellow car in the rear view come up and try to go around on the right.
I cant figure out how to get it to post up here.
