Glad to see you are ok - China Beach is so low to the track that you can't even see over the grass berm to see who is in there.

Wow - I wonder if that is what Nationals are going to be like...Kind of makes me happy I'm not going.

Wow! Glad you both were OK. That could have ended much worse.

That is just "flipping" ridiculous. From the video it seems the white car was simply not happy with giving you ANY track.

The sudden silence when you go airborne is hair-raising.

Glad y'all came out out all right.

Damn, the driver of the white car was a rookie and he was driving that aggressively??? That's crazy! He's got to make it 5 races without incident, looks like a fail.

He chopped you pretty bad at Madness and then got into your right quarter panel
on the back straight. Your hands appeared to stay straight before the contact.

What did the contact report say?

This guy was driving like he felt entitled. He used you to slow down into madness and then inserted his nose where he shouldn't have right before the race ending crash. You kind of came out on top! (he did too but differently).

No kidding. Someone needs to sit him down and give him a serious talking to before he races again. I heard that he also hit the BMW causing the rear dangling bumper cover that can be seen in Mike's video.

BTW, speaking of the BMW with the dragging bumper, I assume they black flagged him?

I saw him slow down at the Carousel, I guess he was going into the pits to get fixed up.

Which session was that accident?
I saw your 968 in the garage with the nose damage, I should have poked my head in but you guys looked rather busy.

I'm with CSI Performance, two Vette's in the Lightning race and one TT.

We were the crew loading up a black C5 in front of your garage. He spun into the wall during Sunday's qualifying in the rain.

Glad to see everyone OK, we'll be back for nationals. It's going to be a scramble getting our 3rd car ready.
