Yeouch! That wall is right there!

Did you hit the wall?

It through the first 10 minutes, it seemd like you dropped your wheel in the dirt an awful lot but the orange car was doing it too so I figured it was ok.

What happened at 6:35?

Yeah





Damage wasn't too bad--broken tie rod and a busted steering rack. Had to get all the tires re-mounted and balanced, but the wheels were straight. But damn, it looks like shit now!

6:35 I tried to psych him out under braking and totally fugged up

I had 4 people breathing down my neck, tires started going off pretty quickly, and I let the pressure get to me. This is why we race cheap cars.

Yeah. Around the 11 minute mark, it was pretty obvious that you were driving in your mirrors.

You looked like you pulled it together though and were looking better...until, well, you know.

Totally! Tires went off sooo quickly. Different tire pressure gauge that weekend

All in all, it's just a bunch of work. The new steering rack was the only expensive thing. I got a fender from a junkyard for $14. Rear fender is gonna stay bent, likely.
