Car crashed at the Grand National Roadster Show
 
Folks, please, always make sure that your throttle is free and doesn’t stick. Not that we wanted this to be the first post for the Grand National Roadster Show but one of the contenders was approaching the viewing area to be judged when his throttle stuck

That'll ruin a guys day pretty quick. Not to mention haunting him for years to come. Bummer.

Wow... that sucks. Hope the judge is ok.

Looks like a neutral safety switch or no brake issue to me. Not sure how a stick throttle does that when you idling inside a building. JMHO

I remember when Scrape, the purple Zephyr, fell off the transport lift gate. That wasn't a good day for the owners or the transport company.

Sounds like the judge will be alright and the car can always get rebuilt. Bummer for all involved though.

:drive:
