Well, it was a great weekend at the track, until this....

I am fine. No injuries.

Car in front of me lost control and spun in Turn 9 at Willow Springs. He was heading to the inside of the track so I went to the outside. Driver said that he failed to hold the brake and then his car reversed direction and came back to the outside. I tried to turn to miss him but it was too late. My right front hit his right rear. My speed was over 90mph.

Yes, the video cam's were working! I will post up the video tomorrow.

That makes me hurt just looking at it. I'm so glad you made it out ok. If it makes you feel better, I've seen worse get back out on the track. Looks like it missed the main body structure

I've always admired your driving back and forth from the races

If you were in Texas, you'd be welcome to grab a carcass or two and any body panels you needed.

Really glad only the car is banged up!

Look forward to the posts if getting her back on track.
