How many cars has "oh crap" at Duryea/Pagoda claim

Post by JekylandHyde »

The only ones I am aware of are Fabio and I believe it was Mike last year (correct?).

Have there been others?

Is there hope that the bump before the turn will ever be fixed?

Just curious :)

There was a ff driven by Jim Cosner(kid not Dad) but it had help from a squirrel more than the bump. I believe there are a couple more but memory is being faulty as to who & when. :lol:

A friend of mine from the mid-'70s, Bob Ramsey, put a Datsun B210 on its side at that turn...The Datsun advertizing slogan at the time went: "Drive a Datsun...then decide!" became, of course, "Drive a Datsun...on its side!"
and Jake Krone (Mazda RX-2) went straight and nailed a lunch trailer. Operative phrase at the time..."whatever you do, don't send Jake for a hot dog..."

Wasn't the blame laid to squirrelly handling?

Chris Barnes rolled a BORROWED Formula 440 at least 15 times there. I still remember Will S. calling it in saying "He is still flipping". And Jerry Hartman put his Mustang up on the guide wire going into 7. And I think Bruno in his Rally Audi Quatro went off there as well. Oh yeah and a Rally Toyota Celica that was in really nice shape,,until it went a tad too wide.
On a side note one of the most amazing things to witness is Kerry Hitt going through there in his GT-1 Vette :shock: :shock: Those of you who have worked turns and got to see him on a run know what I mean. :lol:

Steve, is that the same Hartman that had a crunch just beyond Pagoda few years ago?

There was a little blue sprite(#261) that put it on the guide wire up there too. Nelson had a mishap there. Larry Bickel put the GT6 in up there also. Bob Wilkie had a mishap there many years ago also.

Yeah, the dip at the entrance to the turn got my Formual Ford air borne and I spun and brushed the bank on the left side with the nose and spun up the hill. Didn't hit anything else. :shock:

Yep, it is the same Hartman. In his case he has said that either something broke or his right front caliper froze comming through 6 because the car shot over to the cables under hard braking.
