[QUOTE=DrJupeman]I believe you and Bob S. concluded your cars were the same. You call this 1.2-2 car lengths? (pics from same lap and obviously being in his draft didn't help me enough)[QUOTE]
looks like 5 to7 to me.

Your vid quality is really great what filter/camera combo are you using?
Thanks,

Some people over-compensate their analysis when reading "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" in their side mirrors...

Hopefully you'll have your car back together before Road America.

The damage appears minor, I'd be surprised if it kept me from Road America. Whether or not I have a 38D-fighting engine for Road America is the bigger question. I could make up the 6-7 car lengths he gained on the one long straight at Mosport, but I'm not sure I can do that 3x/lap with the three long straights at Road America.

Charlie, I am sorry to see you car get damaged. May I ask a question? You say "he hit my left front fender" but from the video it looks like you hit his right front fender and/or door instead. Was this just a manner of speaking, or do you really believe he hit you when you were behind him? (agree that this was a sad racing incident)
