This wasn't the only injured car during this very well run BMW CCA event.

I feel his pain. Hit the wall at RA this May. My car looked very similar to this one. Whoever said not too costly. Don't count on it, I'm willing to bet it's between 35k and 45k. Mine was 42k.

May Chicago DE. Came out of the carousel, down the straight doing 120, lift at the kink, turn in what do I see but cars ahead of me on their brakes at track-out. Either I hit them or get off the gas. Took the later and put it in the wall. Oh well. My insurance paid all but my deductible. (There is a God and he must drive a Porsche.)

I don't have the least inclination, but there was no flag out. My instructor, who drives professionally(GT3RS) both looked at each after and it was like: What the %$#&.

Yikes! That can be a tough sequence under the best of circumstances. What grooup "ran" your event? I'm not familiar with "Chicago"?

I am confussed where you were on the track. Were you coming through 12? going into 1 or the kink in the back stretch?


No flags....I bet you had to be PISSED, I know I would have been. Peachstate runs a real good event. I haven't heard of Chicago??

Ouch, looks like about $20k, as we all know, insurance can cover DE incidents, hopefully he makes good decisions on this one.

Which wheels are those? Champion?

Are they the same offset as stock for a GT3?
