Finally sorting thru all the media from two weeks ago and here is what the Boxster looked like after the big spin into the desert - what a mess! I spent an hour this morning cleaning both inside and outside.
How the heck does gravel get embedded in between the tire bead and the wheel like this yet the tire didn't lose any air? Think about how far that tire had to flex over to let that much gravel to be pressed into that space. I guess those are the things that can happen at 125mph. Incredible.
That is Brad Keegan, driver of an incredibly fast 911, pulling the driver side wheels off to have the tire service guys dismount the tires, clean out all of the gravel, and remount/rebalance.
Track support like this is invaluable. Thanks to Brad from Pro Motorsports in Burbank.
