Exactly, I was thinking - I've seen this movie before and it has a very expensive ending. I would have driven into the woods to avoid it. Difference this time compared to last is that there were a bunch of good aware drivers around looking out for one another not trying to take advantage of a dangerous situation. Case in point, Tim "broken spindle" Lynn gave me plenty of room to come back on track.

Gary,
Normally when you hear a noise you turn up the radio and it does go away. I guess is does not work on the track.
Sean, I know how you feel. That same race day at the Glen, I had to run off the track to avoid a spinner. Tons of damage, my car is finally right again a year latter. The racer who spun told me he spun 3 times in the rain during the race. That did not sit well with me as I am sure you can understand. My damage was a lot less than yours, but it still sucked.

Talk about close.............. Gary, thanks for sharing the video. Luck and good driving is a great combination.
I had a spin in the blue enduro and was real happy no one behind me made any contact after the initial push considering it was the 3rd lap and half the field was still behind. Speaks highly to the caliber of drivers in PCA.

I will be at Thunderbolt for one day on the 19th with Don, will you be there?

OMG, Chad! What the hell was that?
Gary, I've had talks with Ron Cohn about the weekend, as I was away in Scottsdale. Said you were great to race with and sent me your vid's. I can't view the one that's on vimeo for some reason, and I'd really like to. Send a link?
I'm looking forward to meeting you, hope to stop by soon.
