Uploading video's on Youtube.

I set fast lap of the race, even with crashing finished P12 LOL.
Nice car, only 3 secs slower than 3.8RS on not so good R6!

Weird, I'm not even sore this morning, that new seat was a good buy and not only because Clarke at Apex gave me 25% off LOL.

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
Steering rack is bent, suspension bent, its gonna be some work to patch it back up in 3 weeks. Looks like I will have to go with a C2 Power steering rack and delete power steering :-(

Been on a parts buying spree today!
Looks like it can be done in time, also looking at alternative cars just in case.

Glad you're okay Peter. It took me a few replays to realize that was your windscreen flying off like a piece of paper towel.

That was a pretty hard hit on passengerside. Does other seat have halo and a net? Hahaha. Scraped tirewalls before but never a concrete wall. I rather have u drive FLATOUT than wuss thru a track. I have a smart car- did a 2:53 at thill over the top if u need another car : ). Mike

LOL on the Smart car, I shipped 2 over in 1999? when they just came out!

Passenger seat does not have halo or net I think.
But I crash only once every 10 years on average, so we should be good :-)

fingers crossed the car will be there on time for Chuckwalla, I already signed up for Bwillow.
