Well everyone I know many of you have wanted to see these for awhile but I wanted to see it before we posted picture's. John Steven's brought the car up today and I looked it over. Apears at first glance I bent the brake pedal drive rod causeing it to come out of the master cylinder. I may find somthing else but I think that is it the problem is everything is bent under there. Its truly hard to see from the picture how bent the front is but look at the picture from the top and look at the core support. The door rail is turned inside out where the hinges attach. The cage was cut out of the car to get me out so that is just laying in the front of the car along with the front fender. But I think these will give you the jist of the impact. I have a few more if you would like to see them just let me know. Sad day at the Makley's
:jd: How did this happen again? Wow, amazing. I guess I missed the original thread, glad to see you are OK though. That's a scary sight.

Speechless.............. God Blessed ya Bobb, aint no two ways around it. :shock: Thanks for posting the pics. I think it will make alot of folks bring safety to the top of their to do lists. D
Thanks Bobb! Thanks for posting the pictures. I'm just thankful you got out of it as well as you did. Like I try to tell my kids at school, you just don't want to hit stuff at 100 mph. Hope to see you'll at PRI. You and Amy have a great Thanksgiving. See you. Jim Netherland
OUCH!! You are very lucky to be alive Bobb,and I agree,God was watching over you. You had a nice car Bobb,but your next car will be even better.Bobb, are you planning on building a racecar just like your old car?
Its amazing your still with us,you built a good car there buddy.Those pics make me proud to own a buick!!!!!! I hope alls well and get well soon. chris
After seeing these pics... With all due respect, Bobb... are you absolutely sure you're still alive? :laugh: But in all seriousness, its really good to see you're up and about again. Don't get discouraged! ~Mike PS: Your car is STILL nicer than mine!
Bobb gives me a chill up my spine :eek2: after seeing you pinned in the car the day of the crash :shock: it looks alot worse in person. glad you are here to talk about it :TU:
You are blessed. I remember the original thread asking that pics not be posted, and now I know why. Glad your still with us and hope your recovery is coming along well :beer
Don't be sad Bobb. You can always build another car. You are getting better, at home, with Amy and Anthony. Can't get much better. :TU:
Thanks for the pics, but mostly Thanks GOD for letting him live,and may we all learn that safty and engineering help save his life. I seen a 69 GS hit the same way and 4 out 5 died that were in the car. You are blessed. To those out there that are pushing the bubble on not having a roll gage and running to fast take a look.
God bless and best wishes Bobb - I was there when it happened and the talk aound the pits and staging lanes was all about you and our concern and well wishes. I don't know you, but it was evident from the talk that you are well respected and liked by many, which is good enough for me! Hang in there! Thanks for the pics - and why you think it happened. We can all learn from your experience. Its excellent construction and following the rules like what you did with your car that makes racing safe. - Bill
