my first whoops!! I was a big one!!!

[IMG][IMG][MG]

well it was just a matter of time!! im fine i think the car is not as bad as it looks. I was going into turn one i think the right front usually off the ground locked and when it landed the chirp sent me into the wall i do vote for tire walls i hit dead sideways sending a few tires 50 feet!! The impact was horrendous i think my HANS saved my neck.. and there was a VERY good outcome from this bad day too!!!

Sorry for your issues! But, as you go faster things happen. The only way you really know your and the car's limits is to exceed them. The secret is to exceed then in small increments so you don't crash!

All the best in the future.

That would be Nelsons Ledges 100%. The track has been rough on Corvettes the past month I heard on fun days and PDX's.

Glad your ok! Not too bad of a repair.
