Me too. Actually, yesterday may have killed me. Been sick all day

Heh sorry. I've been sick since sunday actually.

And as you just saw on my text, the black car is probably out.

Remember the best worst beer challenge, must be local and under $6 for 6, Michigan and Ohio are already in.

When is the beer challenge, Friday night I hope...

Team Frankenspit (1974 Triumph Spitfire) on our way. Just passing through Gibsonton (I75 MM 252).

About 3ish hours out. Anyone teams getting together tonight?

Sorry I didn't get back out there today. Hopefully you guys got in some drag runs before the rain.

chose not to take the time away from the family. i'm headed to Greenville SC tomorrow for the SAE Applied Vehicle Dynamics seminar at BMW Performance Center. i'd love to be at the challenge, just didn't work out this year.

To everyone traveling tomorrow; PLEASE be safe.

Any chance that the GA Tech car had a GoPro on it when it hit us?

I was wondering if you did, or if you at least had a change of underwear on board.

Care to share the story from the driver's seat?

Personally would like to hear both drivers accounts and see pics of the aftermath.

In reply to Sil80redtop:

BTW- I'm not asking to be sensationalistic. I was genuinely concerned, and glad you were OK. It sounds like it could have been bad, but you did an excellent job of maintaining awareness.

Are the results posted yet? Can't find them.

Not like the staff was doing anything this weekend.

The Wreck Racing MG lost traction during the 1-2 shift and spun into the other lane. The MG's right front tire bumped into the black Miata's fender, denting it and bending the MG's tie rod.

Mg's right front hit the Miata's right front... so it was backwards, right?

From the booth it was hard to tell if there was contact. The Miata didn't bounce or get knocked off course visibly, so I figured if there was contact, it wasn't too major.

I gotta say, that was an epic left turn by the Ga Tech car. It was hard enough that my first instinct was that it was headed for the wall. I think a combination of quick reaction and Miata cushion saved it.

In reply to SVreX:

I was spectating and my brother was driving. His eyes were glued to the tach but luckily saw the MG coming into his lane. He hit the brakes and apparently swerved to the left enough to minimize the damage. The Hoosiers left a "For Competition Use Only" stamp on the bumper. LOL

Rubbing's racing!!??
