Finally back at home!
As some of you know, I had an unfortunate incident on track back in July at Mont Tremblant. Some say I ran out of talent, others say physics won this round, whatever your choice of expression, I hit the wall. I was lucky and had no injuries (aside from pride maybe) but the car was not so lucky.
The questions I am sure you are asking.
The frame was out a bit but it did not require any frame parts to be replaced. The shop knows Porsche cars very well and the shop owner is a longtime enthusiast and Instructor with PCA.
My car had 96k on it when this happened.
Yes I took lots of pictures during the repair. I intend to create an album which I will post sometime this winter.
The "while you were there list"
Shaved the headlight washers
Turbo S front spoiler
Turbo S w/LED brake ducts
Clear Corners
Euro front bumper
Euro rear bumper
X-Pel wrap on entire nose, mirrors, rocker panels, halfway up the rear quarter and strips on the rear bumper where road debris hits.
Opti-Coat pro on the entire car.
Repaint the brake calipers
On to the pictures taken today when I received the car back!

The wheels were not done, not sure what I want to do yet. I should have mentioned that. This wheel was the only one showing off the pretty red caliper!

Curious, has the experiance dissuaded you from future track days ?
Or now that you have gotten the initial taste of the wall out of the way...might as well keep having fun, yes ?

Unless I find a way to convince my wife I should now ship it to Bonster s house so I can track it down there this winter, the closest and nearest date for me looks like the first weekend in March at VIR with Chin motorsports
