During this years One Lap ( www.onelapofamerica.com ), I put the car through a tire wall at CMP at about 90-100 mph or so. This was in the morning. We spent the next couple of hours bandaging, duct taping, and so forth. We got back out on track for hte afternoon with no ACD pump as we had snapped the selector solenoid and all the fluid drained out. The car ran like a heavy FWD but I was able to pull a 12 overall out of the event in the afternoon after the DNF from the morning.
We trucked on like that for another 4 days of events and eventually won first place in class. I am in the process of rebuilding now. Bigger and better.

Some videos of me running Time Trials with NASA at Pueblo Motorsports Park (PMP) in Pueblo, CO, a few weekends ago (June 16th and June 17th).
I managed to put down a couple of decently quick laps on Sunday... 1:35.973, which is a new track record at PMP for TT1, backed up by a 1:36.007 on the following lap. I was on hand-me-down Hoosier A6s (autocross compound, so they overheat and go away by lap three or four on track), 285/30-18.
I apologize for the following videos being too long and not very interesting, but using YouTube's editor (GoPro's Cineform makes my computer crash... really need to get a new computer soon) I could only easily chop off the beginning and ends of videos, not edit it down to just the best parts throughout the clip.
With the GoPro on the bumper cover (lots of turbo spooling noises):
On the roof, facing forward (lots of wind noise, but better view of the track):
And one more clip, from the roof, but facing backwards (just for fun, basically, but you can see my rear wing pulling up on the front part of my trunk lid at speed):

Here are two taken a few weeks back at Road Atlanta. The folks in charge were nice enough to lend my student a pretty pink helmet for the weekend as you can see in the first pic.

Nice to see an SLC out and about having fun. They are based here in Detroit I believe. I've run with their lime green race car at NASA events around the Midwest. I'd love to have one for a garage queen/weekend cruiser
