"and then I was floating in midair..."

That was a nice 1+ hour yellow in a 2.5 hour race....

Yeah the race is only 2 hours because god for bid the Grand Am race is longer than the Nationwide race, and with a one hour caution half of it was run under yellow. Really good GT finish though.

No, actually, I'd forgotten that. But to be fair, PC was kicked up before hitting the tires.

He said no brakes, pumped once and it was already too late. See those photogs up by the fence just to the right of the bush? I don't think they ever flinched! They turned and took some nice pictures, though.:shakehead Just seconds after he came to rest people were walking AWAY from the car. How long before he got any help!?
