Looking for any parts next time thru 8B, I see there was a metal drainage grate that I'd run over. Kind of made me feel better, but not really. NEVER early apex 8A.
Of course, the track photographer saw my miscue and caught several frames of it.

Oh my! That is not where you want to be!
This is what makes Laguna Seca so epic - it takes practice/skill to line up the car properly starting way back on the blind run up the hill. Get any of it wrong and its a mess.
Glad that everything worked out ok for you.
