I understand this '57 Chevy rolled down at the end of Sunset this past Sunday. Driver I understand is ok, but not the Chevy. This is a before shot as the car was being brought it. Does anyone know if this is a local car ?

Yea he was there a bunch last year. He supposedly was tired of going slow. So last year he put a 20,000 motor in it. I don't remember this guys name tho.

His name is Dan I think but I know he lives down by cranberry.

not sure on his name but cranberry is where he lives.

Dan sounds right

Hope he's okay, that is unfortunate. Don't know the fellow, but hate to see that happen to anyone. Sunset is not the place to try and break records. I can't believe this doesn't happen more often.

I was there when it happend he was very lucky he walked away from it! the car did hit a poll and spun around a bunch of times but never really flipped maybe on its side for alittle bit but when he came to a stop he was on all four wheels. the car body wasn't to bad it needs body work but I am sure he will be back up and running in a couple weeks!

His name is Dan Klinge.He is a mechanic at his own shop in pittsburgh.He used to race a red 68 or 69 chevelle.Which I do believe he still has.

He is a nice guy... When I worked at sunset, he always came up to me an shook my hand an thanked me for helping him and the other racers out... Hope all is well for Dan.

Is the motor ok?

No offense, but I can tell by the tow rig and car that there is not $20,000 under that hood. Can't be convinced of it no way, no how.

He was tired of going 8 sec with the small block and bought some Big Block it shoved him in the 6's i believe im just passing on the words of sunset, but your right not sure how true those are if ever

The important thing is that Dan is ok you can always replace the car.

the motor is fine in dans car just need two rear quarter panels and the motor is a 421 small block chevy and he only has like 10k in it.

Is that what he said?, and skip get to work lol just kidding hows it going?

Glad no one got hurt, I'll bet the achevy an that pole were about the same age, 57-58 or so. I've actually looked straight through one of the poles there if ya get the holes in em lined up just right ya can see out the other side,lol

Ryan I,m working on it I should have it done when the tracks dry up LOL

haha that will take a while, I not in a hurry to spend any more gas money then I need.

Im Glad to here that Dan is OK....the tracks down south are still green and wet so I know how bad it must be up your way !....heading to SumerDuck to try my Luck to night !!!
