I was the driver. I am at work today, sore but unhurt.

My friend Michael was treated and released. He was wearing his seat belt, and wasn't thrown from the car, he is at work today with me too.

I am very grateful to have not been hurt and for the support of my family and friends, especially my wife and John Clark.

Sorry Lart, I've already agreed on a price with John.

Very short ride. Eased away from a signal light until we had a good straight shot of pavement in front. Wanted to get onto boost to observer wide band numbers then get right back off. At boost onset, the car hooked hard right. Pavement was dry, temperature in the 50's. Possibly salt or sand on the right side of the road gave us traction on just one wheel. Went off the right side of the road over an approximately 20' sheer drop.

Sounds like one of those freak occurrences that could happen to any of us. It always amazes me how much misinformation the news media regards as facts. Thanks for giving us the real story.

Glad to see you both are alright.

The shell is beyond repair, John's going to help me strip it. Gotta see what survived before I decide what to do with the parts.
