LRP hard hit

Hi All,
Here's what happens when you ignore a small puddle exiting Big Bend at Limerock. I had no chance to save the spin. Thankfully, no one was hurt. This occured at the June 10th National. Broke every piece of suspension in the left front. The wheel was wrapped around the caliper so hard it had to be hacksawed off. Front fender, rocker and both doors are toast. Cage kept the car fixable and saved my life.

2 ssc cars that were well back in the pack. The first guy tried to check up and the second guy drove under him, catapulting him into me.

I am in the Northeast. This is my home track. The T2 pole was 1:00.6. I was experimenting with setup in qualifying and could only manage a 1:01 something. Not a good qual for me. Next race, the Glen July 8-9. Body damage should be repaired by then.
Cheers,

Awesome, I hope you the best, if that glen race is a nescca event I will be there, if I am goign I will shoot you a PM, we should pit somewhere close, we have two evo's and once the older gets retired as a daily driver my father and I are contemplating building it for t2 spec aswell.

How competitive do you find the evo on the tracks like Glen where you are flat out for days....

Hi All,
Just won the SCCA National at Limerock this weekend. Evo's were 1st and 3rd in T2, with a 350Z in second. Kind of poetic justice after my experience in LRP1.
Cheers,
