I haven't taken a real close look at the car but I can see that the frame rails on the right hand side are bent in about 4 inches and the welds are broken at the rear bulk head. The right side pod is toast along with the radiator, an A-Arm, and a steering tie rod. I think I can fix the side panel but I'm sure I will find more stuff once I strip it down. The good news is that the car did its job and protected me. I have a bruised arm and a couple of other bruises but I'm fine otherwise. Just dissapointed. I always said that racing teaches you perseverence and I will persevere after this and will get the car fixed. Unfortunately I think this ruins my racing plans for this year and the pro races that I was planning to enter are probably out.
Before this happened, I was run off the road by a C Sports Racer on Friday during the test day. The driver didn't think he did anything wrong. You make the call.
The only good news from the weekend was that I made good progress with the car on the test day and got down to a 1:17.8. I was at least heading in the right direction.
