Vertical video? Your camera-person needs to be replaced.

The kid that films every event should have his video out in a couple of days.
I ended up revving beyond mapped fuel at the launch because of the lack of traction, really thought we were gonna collide in turn 2 and 4.

You need more duck tape and a bigger hammer!

What the heck happened? Did a BJ shear?

Most likely cracked the bolts when I hit the wall a few years back...

Luckily it broke off when backing into my yard...after taking a friend for a quick joyride.
It would have been a whole different situation had it happened on the track or on the highway while driving home.

I believe the welds/bolts broke when I hit the wall a few years ago and it just took a while for driving vibrations to finish the job...

Here is the whole event...should be clearer now how wet the track was...

I don't even enjoy autocrossing on wet pavement. There's no way I'd want to be on an oval track running against another car!

Although the final race turned out be be anti-climatic, that little red Nissan had been rather impressive earlier.
