In honor (apparently) of Sharknado week, the #77 picked up a helluva sharkbite last weekend...

Chassis is still straight and fast, though, so just cosmetic work to resolve... and a few weeks to do so.

What happened? She spun on her own under braking while leading a race, but the next car in line (A1 Wabbit GTI) turned out to be driven by an idiot who panicked and spun into her... despite that in fact being a very difficult, nearly impossible, achievement (given where she spun)...

That guy locked up his brakes as soon as she started spinning. What a looser.

Morghen - exactly, instant panic, doesn't belong mixing it up with the big girls...

Eddie - that was actually my wife driving the car... here's my (equally brief) in-car from the same weekend, in my car...

Ah, I posted that before your video came through, meaning even though your car got bumped it looks like you're having a lot of fun..

I thought your "she's" in your OP were referencing the car..

Looks like both of you are having a lot of fun out there..

I would love to.. It won't be anytime soon but I plan to do some touring like that in the 931 once its sorted, maybe next fall..

I think you live close to my brother, waterford, He works for GM at the COPO Camaro plant building the COPO engines... Those things run like high 8's straight from GM.. Last I heard from him.. I would like to visit him in that area too..
