I did watch the video until the end - and now I see pics of the damage, which is more than I initially expected.

I also haven't seen any other video... and if the PCA stewards made a determination...

I caught it in my peripheral vision because I saw the car bouncing up and down as he was in the grass, which is kind of unusual movement. As I was watching him, I expected him to come to a stop......

I don't recall if I did it in that video, but my favorite way to get races out is to weld a bead on them with the mig welder. When the weld cools, it shrinks, and you can get the race out with...

At home, it would always be parked in the garage, so it would never get that cold. But I would have to leave it parked outside at work (2-days at a time) - it was not uncommon for me to have to do a...

Also feel inside the rear fenders - the lip will be completely smooth on a turbo S. The regular turbos have a pronounced lip inside there.
