McBride Racing

A few photos of this past weekend NorCal Rock racing around 3 Thanks for the photos Brian Ritberger

My good friend Scott Birdsall owner of chuckles garage a world record holder at pikes peak hill climb in the diesel class had a pretty bad accident with we are grateful that Scott walked away with no injuries but old smokies not looking too good right now

Smokey Saved my life. Coming into Lightning corner during the 101st running of the @pikespeakhillclimb, Smokey had a complete brake failure. I went to settle in to the corner, and the brake pedal went to the firewall with zero effort. I tried to turn in and scrub speed in the ditch, but there was too much momentum, and I went off very quickly. The truck flew about 175 feet down the cliff onto it's roof, and then rolled 8 or 9 times before it came to a stop in a snow drift. I was winded, but completely unscathed. I dug myself out of the snow, unbuckled, and started climbing back up the mountain to the safety crew and medics. They checked me out, and confirmed I had zero injuries or a concussion. These guys are consummate professionals, and I can't thank them enough. My stout cage design, @stilo_usa helmet, and @sabeltamerica containment seat and belts saved my ass. Sometimes, you want to skimp on expensive safety equipment, but it could be the difference between being heavily injured or completely unscathed. Thank you all for the outpouring of messages and calls, I'm sorry for all the unanswered messages. My phone was destroyed in the crash, and I just got a new one. Thank you to my crew, you guys are all heros. Love you all. Rest in peace Old Smokey F1. #oldsmokeyf1 #chucklesgarage #pilespeak #pikespeakinternationalhillclimb #ppihc2023 #ppihc
