I did drive it home about 3 miles after I got pulled out of the ditch and pulled the fenders off the tires. I did try to drive it out, but since it was wet, and bouncing off revlimiter, there wasn't enough traction. Tow trucks are expensive, so I wanted to spend as little as possible. It was an interesting drive to say the least.

I wasn't sure about how I was going to drive this weekend. But apparently fast is the answer. I did take 1st and 3rd in the street tire index, set the fastest HS street tire time both days. A big thanks goes to Steve G. for letting me even drive his car after crashing mine.

Nice shiny EVO's are a little out of the price range. I'm not sure if I'm done with 3S's or not. I like them a lot, but I also like winning. And I KNOW the 3S will never be a class winning car (except localy in SM, till someone else tweaks a car better). But still tons of fun to drive around an AX course. I don't want to be wining in a car I hate, but losing in a car you love isn't exactly the most fun in the world.

Dude, I'd say strip both chassis, save your cash (I can help you part that bitch out like I did mine twice on 3si) and lets get you a new set of wheels.

You don't want to dump the time and money into putting yourself into something uncompetitive, you know this. Take this as an opportunity to move into something more what you want out of a track car. Or get a nice daily that you can double duty with.

Glad you are feeling good still . That was a bad text to get that night.

Tell me about it. I was thinking you two were out tuning it and all I imagined was one or both of you being busted up. It sucks that I won't ever get to codrive it now.

I should have brakes and tires by the next MAC event at least, so if you need a ride then you're more than welcome to join me. Not entirely competitive in BSP, but surely not a slouch either. Maybe it's time for meth injection, cams, a bigger turbo and go play in SM.

Actually I was out that night with him, just earlier. We were working on revlimiter in 1st so it would stay on power... .

I am just glad Ryan is an experience driver. With the power that car was putting down and the conditions the accident happened in, it could have been MUCH worse.
