It is Alex Pettis car. He crashed into me and flipped real bad Fri at Osgoods SCORA race, so the car was already tore up. I hope everyone is ok. ACP is him I think. Anyone know anything? Joe or Sam, you guys hear anything? Alex, anyone get hurt?

Hi this is Alex. My girl and I are ok. Didn't mean to scare anyone I only posted pics cuz a few freinds wanted to see how bad the truck and trailer were and e-mail wasn't working. We think we hydroplaned and jackknifed and rolled off into the ditch. It was Hwy. 65 or 56 about 20 miles north of Louisville, Ky. Needless to say, after this weekend I think were done for the year. I'm sorry again Steve for runnin into the back of you I didn't mean to do it. I hope I didn't tear your steering up or anything else... let me know if you need anything to get it fixed.

Glad everyone is ok...sorry to hear that you are done for the year though. It was good racing before you flipped, but again glad you guys are ok...everything else can be replaced over time.

Alex -

Ugly pics!.

Just glad that you and the girlfriend are OK. Race cars, trucks, and trailers can be replaced....

While it may hurt the pocketbook for a while, just wait until you see the support that appears from fans and fellow racers.....

I just hung up with Alex and he is ok but depressed about the whole thing. He is waiting on the insurance adjuster to get back to him.John Gurley

You have raised a great kid! I have gotten to know Alex thru the series and he is one of nicest young men we have racing with us. He will be sorely missed during his rebuilding period. I have no doubt that Alex will get back up and dust himself off and get back after it again..John Gurley
