Opps...Neon goes crash...

On the way to Autobahn Country Club w/ NASA
Damage to car...
The spindle/steering kuncle busted where the tie rod mounts..


So race #1, about 5 laps in, the car is oversteering a bit more than usual.  Coming into turn 3, I typically put my driver side tire about 2" over the curb/apex run off.  For whatever reason this time I was all the way over it.  This particular curb is rather high, say 3~4"....this forced the driver side of the car up in the air and the car spun sideways, I corrected and got the car pointed in the right direction, unfortunatly my trajectory still sent sliding sideways into the tire wall. 

Car has a krinkled front fender, broken side view mirror, snapped spindle/steering knuckle, busted tail light, bent rear laterial arm, and pushed the rear quarter pannel in enough to where the trunk doesn't close.

Video from earlier this summer...

July 28th, Autobahn Country Club, Joliet Il. w/ NASA
This is the last race of the weekend, a 40 minute sprint.


The video is about 30 minutes into the race, there is a yellow flag thrown for two whole laps, allowing the entire field to regroup.  There is some drama w/ some of the Spec Porsche 944's.
