Have you tried rubbing shaving foam on windshield?
lol glad after the fact you’re the 5th one to mention that. I have defrost strips laying in box for years in the trailer.

My scariest moments have traditionally been reserved for the tow to the track and back, BUT then this happened at Sebring while shaking down my new car:


Of course this will never happen again but I will be reminded whenever I see the two black skidmarks in T6.

I didn't personally see it, but apparently the same thing happened to a professional driver taking someones Zonda R out at Mosport. The wheel came off going up the back straight. Damage was 'minimal', but apparently still close to 7 figures!

Dan Yonker's crash in 17 at Sebring two years ago was scary enough that I check, double check and sometimes triple check the wheel every time I go out.

I remember that lol, and I do see those tire marks still. Keep out of trouble up there, and put a big black rubber mark on Paul's new suit for me

Yup, that's a winner! Had to rewind watch that a few times. And I had the volume up all the way when those two Cups came flying by...near spilled my coffee.
