I need help! Stuck at Summit Point with BLOWN M50 :(
« on: July 23, 2011, 09:17:29 PM »
Hey guys, I desperately need help!!! I am at the Summit Point Raceway in WV and my build motor died on the first lap, actually... I didn't even get the chance the complete the full lap. I was thinking it was the head gasket but...turned out to be a lot worse :(

Check out the carnage:







I am 300 miles from home with no tow vehicle. I need to be towed ANYWHERE off the track so I can pick up the car with my own trailer some time later. I would prefer to be towed to NJ or NYC area, but anywhere in the northern direction would be incredibly appreciated.

I'll be at the track all day hunting down a ride but please contact me directly @

347 291 1575

Again, any help would be HUGE right now.

They have car transports for like 200-500dollars call them they pick it up and then they deliver it to your home. as for some on here towing it idk man seems pretty out there.

I'm only about four hours away, but I have nothing to tow with.  Sorry to hear about the M50 though.  You could store the car here if you needed, but that doesn't seem like much of a solution...

Hey Dave, thanks for contacting me. A buddy of mine managed to travel down here with his flat bed and bring Betty home.

I've got an S52 lined up for it but still extremely bummed out because the motor only had 20k on the rebuild. It was a great 20k of mileage though...I ran that motor hard.
