spridge31Gulick turns over in hot laps down between one and two. He's ok. Looked like the right rear blew...might be ok with a front axle change

USAC is now tweeting as well. I will include any different or new info from them as well.

If you're not familiar with Twitter you can add your cell # to the account and spridge's updates will text you if you turn it on. Let me know if you want to know how and can't figure it out.

Just got a call from the Crew. Brand new RR blew apart, literally, in hot laps. Don't know if the car is hurt too much. Front Axle for sure. Crew will advise us. Not sure if he ran over something or what.

Pete, Glad Coleman is OK. Keep us posted. From some Wing Guys I've talked to, They say they had problems with RR Blowouts and the bead just blowing up. They went to whats called a double bead lock, Seems to have solved that problem. Wonder if the forces of NW are now approaching some of those type limits?

Pine, Spridges text apear on the Update forum of this site. Im getting them directly from Twitter.com
