That car is really hooked up and he drives very well indeed. I hope he comes out to Miller next year....
I think he was lucky though that he didn't get airborne out of that rut on the exit of T1. Probably scared the bleep out of the white Beemer....
Does anyone know what tires he was running?

Three Wheelin'
Lindacker's car is toast. Impact on the right rear into the concrete at 70 mph. The broken timing chain was hanging out like it was gut shot. Brutal. A fellow with a Go Pro filmed it from the fence.

Oh and I was wrong about the waving yellow flag before the incident. Your video clearly showed it there. I appologise to NASA and humbly stand corrected.
What I kept hearing regarding wheel spin was you coming off the curbs mainly the last RH turn before the front straight. It was especially significant at he second restart (20:40) when you had to lift to get the power down, and at 23:20 trying to get power down out of a left hander. You lifted on the following R-hander probably expecting to get wheel spin and that cost you. If you've never rebuilt it I strongly recommend you do so. Breakaway pressure isn't the only litmus test for diffs.....

Of course I've learned to first ask Matt what he suggests ....
PS: Get the taller GA uprights for your wing. You get cleaner air and don't need a lot of angle. Well worth a few hundred bucks....

I'm not sure the white BMW hit a single apex

There were about 18 minutes of yellow so very cold tires all around on the restart. He was pretty hooked up earlier. I was left foot braking to get the car to apex, it was just enough.
