that sucks :(

Ouch!!!

What in the hell was that guy thinking! Geeeeez man. Sorry to see that.. was the car repairable?

Its at the frame rack now.....Def missing Homestead
Looks like we may be looking for a 2nd car/chassis to start a backup build.
NJ is up in the air....Mid Ohio is a good possibility to be our next run....which is our home away from home.
The team is already working towards major updates.....and I am claiming it will be a top 5 contender...its next time out....espc if its Mid Ohio.
;)

Glad to see the "can do attitude". Really want to make it to the Mid-O race but it's only worth it if you guys are there.

That whole incident just solidifies my one complaint about the Conti series; way too many cars on the track. I really wish they would only allow the top XX cars into the race based on qualifying. Just my opinion though.

Keeping the fields small isn't particularly healthy for the series, though.. Fans, sponsors, teams, etc. want their cars out on track. I don't think there's enough money on the line to make it worth it to haul all of your team and equipment to the track when there is a risk you might not even race. It's not like NASCAR Sprint Cup where you can spend as little as possible to attempt to qualify for the race, then if you do qualify you park your car on lap 1 of the race and collect $100k for last place. There are only so many teams that can afford to compete for the championship at that level so you get some bottom feeder guys trying to make a buck. :icon17:

Fingers crossed to see you at Mid-Ohio. Love that track.

I think the crowded fields make for a pretty good show generally.

That was a Mustang, wasn't it. :shakes head:

:bowrofl:

:rolleyes:

wow turn 1....that stinks sorry to see that happen...

lol at mustang comments about to ensue.

Hey it wasn't was like the Mustang driver just went hard right and drove him right off the track. :icon23:

Did I hit a nerve, dad?

We are def missing Homestead...which is a bummer..I think that car would do very well there.
I am trying to line up a driver for New Jersey now...and another package that would lock us in for the rest of the season after that.
Mid Ohio ...as I was told today is a go for us.
The OEM ECU is being removed and we are going to the Grand Am spec BOSCH ECU.
Car is still on the frame rack and we are currently sourcing out chassis #2 to build.
Lots going on...and moving forward.
