Haha, had a friend do it to me on the warm up lap. Talking to his student at 30 miles an hour, goes off in the gravel pit, and while I'm on his bumper, floors it and destroys my windshield.

its a pisser re the windshield and lights, but we all know ............... **** happens like this (and worse) when you go on the track.

Personally this is why I bought a pure track car so I worry less about trashing my street P

I don't get why you would even bust ***** on this. Guy makes a pass and then puts a wheel off. It happens. Now maybe you complain about the pass, but rocks. Tough.... that is on BIG reason I went to a track car. Here in Arizona most of our tracks have rocks on the edges not grass. So cars get what we can track rash. That is an extreme case of road rash that results in peppered paint and on occasion a cracked windshield. It is just part of track driving around here.

No Premium, I'm running Regular also for now. As a matter of fact I just went for a bike (cycle) ride and passed ~ 3 - 4 stations. None of them had any gas, still.

Headlight is Cheap.. Just surprised as Chris mentioned because I didn't notice it until the next day when I was filling up at the gas station. That said, it's obvious that I didn't get out of my car and crawl around it to assess the damage as I'm not overly concerned about the car knowing this **** happens. I don't cover the front with painters tape or a clear bra, etc. Just having fun with the guy who did it and he knows I was going to because we talked about it that day at the track... LIGHTEN UP

Pretty clear to me that you knew the guy and were just having some fun at his expense.

Exactly.

PS: the culprit was named "Pebbles" here for a reason known only to him, the OP, James Clay, and myself.

Chads996

Why are YOU laughing - "Pebbles".

If I recall, you did "something" to a BMW Bimmerworld race car with...pebbles.

Hmmmmm...!?

Veloce Raptor

Veloce Raptor

Seth Thomas

Maybe he needs some coaching from VR to solve his issues

Dave, I have a used passenger side headlight lens if you need it. It is not cracked but sandblasted from track events etc. I tossed the drivers side. As you klnow I lost my windshield the same day in a similar incident. Bottom of esses, BMW went wide to allow a pass and got into a very dirty part of the track kicking up all sorts of garbage. Oh well, happens and I needed a new one anyway due to sandblasting.

Where is the video of the high price you paid when you missed a shift.....?

Veloce Raptor

Maybe....but that might even make him worse!

Hey serious question: is the gas shortage there as bad as it is protrayed?

007DT

Dave. Thanks but my drivers side is the broken one. I need new ones any way. I'm sure your windshield was smashed by one of the reckless Bimmer World Drivers
I'll work on a highlights video this week and post it.

YES!! If you can find a station with it be prepared to wait for 30+ min. The challenge is finding it. Its hard to believe this has been going for over a week.
