In the very first practice session last Friday morning at Thunderhill, I was passing another car at the end of the session and next thing I knew I was spinning off into the weeds. Instantly, my thoughts turned to the potential damage to the car and the set back in our plans to put the new motor in, make the Major's race in Portland, get spare parts from France, etc., etc. I hadn't been off track or in an incident for so long, I almost forgot the anguish that comes with it.

Well, we had a guardian angel looking over us as the damage was contained to the right rear wheel. The car that turned into me made contact with his left front tire in exact alignment with my right rear tire which exploded my tire and damaged the wheel but fortunately caused no other damage. Jason and Chris carefully looked my car over and replaced some suspension bolts as a precaution, but otherwise all ok...disaster averted.
