    Joe,

     John and I just watched his in car video. When him and Andrew came by you on the front straight, he did not see your car till you went past his window. Scary moment. John put some of the video on our website. Don't know if that part  is on there or not but will let you see it.

    Wow, after seeing these videos of troubles even on rain tires i don't feel too bad anymore.  Wallowing around for 4 laps stinks though, at above 60mph my car was worthless and SCARY!  Good job to all who survived, Charles and Brian, hope the cars are good to go!

    Thanks Joe, the car is in the body shop getting the rear fender pulled out from the trunk. The guy seemed to think the frame was OK. Still waiting to see if I blew up an axle or transfer case or something.

     

    Here an incar of my crash for anyone interested: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jdSFTQq6PCg

     

    No audio because I let out the girliest scream ever. Ugh.

    Most grown men would do the same experiencing your crash, that was brutal!

    That's the same area I spun late in the race. I still don't know how I kept it off the armco. I felt like I was a stunt driver using the mirrors as to avoid impact. Hopefully you will be ready for Lime Rock.

    Thanks John, glad to hear you made it out with no damage. I felt pretty silly spinning going straight with an AWD car so I can't imagine how it was for the RWD guys. I was looking at the video again on Final Cut Pro and saw that I missed the concrete wall by a little over a foot, I guess I lucked out in that regard.

    Going into the braking zone on the front straight, I nearly spun as well Charles.
