Local guy wrecks at 45th

Hey guys I just found out Jerry Bergeron from here in Owasso may have totaled his Roush Trak-Pak. He was on the track in Birmingham, AL for the 45th Anniverary and went airborne and flipped the car. He is not hurt just shaken up his car has race seats and 5 point harness to keep him in. He is a close friend so when he gets back we will have to give him a hard time for sure. I will post pics as soon as I get them.

Wow! Glad he's alright! Trac pack huh? Were you hiding him from us? LOL. Post pics when you get a chance

Is that the red 98 cobra one? I use to work on that car lot, he freaking loves that car. Hope all is well.

Trak Pak = 427R

Hope Jerry is OK.

That sucks. That was a nice car.

Ummmm roush trac packs aren't 98 cobras. Duh

He sold the 98 Cobra Stage 3 to another friend in Dallas

He is also in Green Country Classic Mustangs actually a board member so......

Jerry owns a P51a Roush and a 427R Trak-Pak and is the one who went with me out to Hallett the day I had the track to myself.

Shows how much I care about Roush mustangs! :) His 98 cobra was pretty nice, never thought he would part with that one.

I believe he traded in the 98 Cobra and the 2007 Blackjack at Grand Prairie Ford for the P51a if I recall right. The cobra went to an fnsweet member I believe. Hope Jerry is ok!!!

Damn. Thats tough. I hate to see that. WOnder if its totaled?

Looks bad but fixable I would think. All the wheels look pretty straight, so maybe the body is still pretty straight.

I was next up on the grid.The wreck wasn't that bad.Didn't know he was from hear.Both bags blown,usually a total.Saw will from car fx.They made us keep the cars in the paddock.His weekend is shot.Did he drive the car down or trailor.

Man thats tough to look at. Not sure I want to have that one fixed but then again, they only made 100 of them. Hope all works out for them!!

He took the truck and trailer just in case something happened.

Maybe rare but i saw 8-10 drag track cars and more 427 roush's and shelby 500 than i could count.Only saw 2-3 saleens.It is only thurs,and they seem to think another 2000 by fri. and sat.Stangs everywhere.

The vendor area was huge.I even bought some parts from silverhorse.If you need it i believe it was there.The museum was awasome.I am going back in 2 weeks for the ama superbike race.On the wing of course.

Oh yeah Me Too

Oh yeah,I was suprised to see very few ME TOO colors.Mainly RED,White and minerial grey.Also a lot of black.

any "me too" grabber orange?

Well lets hook up.I will check the time and distance on the way home.I plan on camping.

Must hit the hay,long day

thats maybe the most horrible thing ive ever seen. hate to see this happen. glad hes ok though.

I was just told it is totaled.

Glad he's alright! It doesn't look like he flipped it though.

glad he is alright. I hate seeing that roush like that. BUt on a side not, if he sells it to the insurance company or just wants to sell it, will you have him give me a call?

i thought totaled was cost more to fix than car is worth that car should be worth a lot

Looks mostly cosmetic and air bags. Wonder what the suspension looks like. He could buy it back from the insurance company and fix her up and have 2 trak paks...hehe just a though

I hate to see it when a nice mustang gets bent, but happens on the track.....If you can't afford to lose the car (financially or emotionally) don't track it. I'm glad he was not injured and hope that he had a rollbar or cage to go along with the seats and harnesses.

Also, and this is my humble but accurate opinion, if the car gets bent on the track, the insurance company should not cover the loss. I would never try to make a claim if I were in that position. It's just not fair to the other policy holders to drive their rates up because you participated in an activity that likely is excluded from coverage if full disclosure were made. And I have come close to getting caught in other peoples' mistakes, thus my rollbar, seats and harnesses.

Anyway, from looking at the pic's, it appears that that car is VERY fixable. I've restored cars that were ten times worse. If it were me though, I wouldn't worry about replacing the air bags...............

Jared - here's your chance to practice your Dremel skills on an airbag cover!
