Car Destroyed on way home from the NATS
« on: September 01, 2009, 12:20:41 PM »
The white ls1 t-tops with the red dragon on the doors, was destroyed in an accident Monday morning on its way home. I attached the link, only the car was hurt. Anyone know the driver?

I remember seeing the car, as Conrad said, he had fabricated some sort of lift to keep the t-tops "cracked" open!  Shame about the car, but a least he is fine.

That car has been there for the last 3 years, that I can remember, and I think it was in NY too this yr. Sad to see, but glad he is ok.

Wow that sucks.  It really makes it worse seeing his trophy in the back.

Wow - that sucks.

Michael Holley, from Tennessee, was on his way home from the 25th Annual Trans Am Nationals held over the weekend at the Dayton-Marriott in his award winning Trans Am show car when he was involved in an accident with another vehicle at the 675-Interstate 75 interchange Monday morning in Miamisburg. No one was injured in the accident. "The engine is OK," Holley said, "but the body....I don't know," he added.

We got delayed in the  backed-up traffic from the accident, but didn't know who/what cars were involved.  I was too busy trying to thread my way through with my car trailer.
