Wildgust Crash at PMRA Opener

The PMRA opener at TMP yesterday included a serious crash for up-and-coming Pro Mod class driver Scott Wildgust.

Wildgust was piloting the Torco Race Fuels/Wild Boar Gear ’67 Pro Mod Camaro which was owned by Kirk Silbermann and had just completed a 1/8th mile run of 4.12 secs when his car heavily collected both guard walls.  Rescue crews were forced to cut Scott from the car and he was taken to Hamilton General Hospital for observation but otherwise did not receive any major injury.  Silbermann’s recently acquired Chevy Camaro (the ex Carl Spiering car) was however destroyed in the crash.   The incident had come after Wildgust had made a  rather spectacular “save” during an earlier qualifying attempt. 

Round One Save!
