Good job on missing the big pile of rocks! The zip ties held the air ducts?? Those must be some good zip ties...
I think the replacement fog lights are waiting for you. Hopefully in a couple of weeks, I can make it back out there. Sorry I missed you guys last weekend.

Looking at that video again, it looks like you got in the gas a little too early and lost the grip on your front tires, another corner or two and Andrew was going down!!!

i don't think it was your speed as much as your line.
from the video it looks like you missed the apex on the left hander 1 turn before you went off.
then, after missing that apex, you didn't track all the way out for the next left hander. That put you in a bad position for the last turn and the result was a trip to the grass.
glad nothing was hurt and the car is still driveable. Thanks for posting the video, looks like a very fun track.

Gee, I thought you were out picking berries!-- That was a great trip, I had a good time, It didnt look like you went that far out when we viewed it at the track--but some how its in the sticks now!.. I seem to remember a stick you dug out from under the car for a trophy... HA!

I can pull the logs from Evoscan off my computer and see what the ECU thought I was doing... but if it was higher than 115, then I'll be very surprised.
It's uphill and I was beginning to brake at the ~300' line.
"my type of power" is like maybe 350... and I think that's likely high honestly they way that Andrew was pulling on me in the straights.

Sean, I think that you're going much faster than 115 on the back straight. It is 680 feet longer than a 1/4 mile (of which you are probably braking for 150 ft of it), and there are many people putting down your type of power that are trapping 120mph. You are also getting a 50 mph head start. 115 just seems too slow to me considering the way that you drive.

i'm guessing he is close to 450lbs lighter.
