The Not So Good News: Qualified 3rd for Sunday's race and the driver in P1 decided to start at the back and race his way through the group so I started P2 (in BSR/SPB).

Got a good start and moved up to P1. Then got held up by slower traffic and moved back to P2. Then the P1 driver finally caught up to us and passed us both so I was in P3.

Then I didn't hold the car down tight on the inside line in Turn 8 (125mph) and it pushed up into the marbles and off I went into the desert!

The car was mostly ok but the power steering low pressure return line was pulled loose and broken (nearly ripped off of the bottom of the car is another way to say it) so I came home on the tow truck.

Race - Repair - Repeat.

HD and sound is the best way to watch - its pretty crazy when I go off track!


very entertaining videos Tom! i watched some of the others too, that looks like so much fun! glad to see you were ok after that big spin out, pretty scary stuff!

keep them coming!
