Oopsie
Flat tire going into 9 at back of straight.

All OK impacts were soft

Car is fixable I think
Maybe small delay CA mancation.
Have in car video and should receive video from car I just passed.

90 minute enduro. Was P1 and P2 all race crashed on last lap.
Can't load pics from I phone Mooty has them

Yikes- hope everything works out! This kind of thing freaks me out. What tires and condition were they in? Do you think there was debris on the road that got picked up? Speedy recovery!

Decent R6, spin started at about 130 Mph. I was worried for a bit but the impacts were not too bad. Hopefully they can fix it enough to run in 2-3 weeks.

At the airport drowning my sorrows :-)

Spun at 130, hit concrete wall at 80.
Happy to be sitting here sipping beers.

All race P1 and P2, fastest lap in the race, did the 90 min endure by myself and had a good time, learned a lot from the guy that finished P1 ;-)
I ran these tires at PBIR and all weekend, but still I never liked R6, had so many flats, bead wires coming out...

Its PCA's fault the race was just 1 lap too long!

Damn Peter

As long as you are Ok the car is secondary. Car doesn't look to bad as long as no suspension damage.

I on the other hand picked up da Civic with its new 0 hour motor Wednesday and put 200 drama free miles on it at Sebring and won 2 Hoosiers on Sunday. So unless work or life intervenes I will be leaving FL the end of April for the Left Coast. Hopefully you get going quickly so we can at least do one event, besides together.

Peter

See, tracks with wallls = not good. Glad you are OK and hope you get your track car fixed in time for the first first event in May...

That'll buff right out. Load it on the trailer and haul it out west, pronto! Less walls out here!
