Damn, that was so sudden. I can't imagine there's even a split second to do anything but be a passenger. No warning. Ouch. Sorry to see it. Hope it all works out as best as possible for you. Thanks for the video....sorta...

Peter, it was good to meet you this weekend. I was happy to see that you walked away from this unscathed. I'm interested to hear what Michelin say about this though. What happened to you on Sat. made me revert to the "normal" Blues for the Enduro instead of the Indys I had purchased.

Sorry we did not get to speak this weekend. Glad you are okay. I had no idea anything happened or I would have been over to check on you. Lots of carnage this weekend.

***** that is a bit scary. There is no good place for that to happen but better there than at some of the other spots.

Wow! That thing just blew apart! Nasty! Glad you are ok and the damage is a lot less than it could have been.
Do all tires including DOTs come apart like this, or just slicks?

Wow, glad to hear you are ok. The car looked to be under control at all times and the person behind you with the video was also under control. An accident like that could have been worse. Nice job driving and glad you and the others are ok.

Good to meet you too Matt.
Yeah, sorry I didn't get to see you and the new car. What class are you running in?
Good to meet you too. Yeah, it could have been A LOT worse and when it was happening, I definitely thought the car was toast. Once the fenders/bumpers/etc came off it looked a lot better
