I'm not sure why they even loaded it back up. There ain't $5 worth of usable parts left on that car.

Probably because they didn't want to pay the fine for littering at Mid Ohio....

Just think if it had been Barber. That would probably have been a reality.

Hell at Barber he would'be been fined for the asphalt damage, the gas and diesel in the rescue trucks and probably for the construction cost to fix the berm!

Seriously though, Barber has gotten better. When we were there a few weeks ago there were things that they didn't b*tch about that they would've screemed bloody murder about two years ago.

When the AMLS was there in May the drivers were bitching about the new curbs because the were so agressive they couldnt touch them with their insid eor outside wheel.
You also dont realize how big they are untill you are on track.

I think if they just work on the landing , it would more resemble a scene from Dukes of Hazard. someone should put that scene to music! " Just some good ole boys, never meaing no harm............"

by the way, did you see the size of the CF intake runners on that PTG 3.2 liter 500hp monster?
