    Well now I feel compelled to defend myself.
    I wasn't attempting to pass, nor was I attempting to race out of class. I moved into a clearing on the start and as I gained forward visibility I was surprised to see that my closure rate exceeded my ability to stop , so I made a decision to bail instead of punt. I take full responsibility for my mistake . I understand I'm not the only car who was surprised at how much we slowed for turn 1, but I'm the one who had contact. For that I'm very sorry!

    Smashing into your brand new car??? So in other words, lookout mid-pack slackers.

    No I'm saying that I wasn't talking trash when you crashed into the back of me at TWS.

    Do you have video of your ECR wreck? It looked like a wild ride.

    I'am not sure what the definition of "smashed" or "crashed" is, I suppose there is a spectrum. The blemish I have includes a rear quarter panel caved in 11 inches, a crimped fuel fill, a broken wheel, bent axel, trashed door, repairable front fender and bent tie rod on first inspection. That's all i'am going to say on this, just another thunder racing incident.

    I'll go ahead and throw the fuel on the fire. There are those that seem to be able to run fast and in traffic without incident and then there are others who cannot. We all know examples of each group. The recklessness needs to be deemed unacceptable and dealt with appropriately and with more than a slap on the wrist. If this is not done, AI/CMC/SI will get a bad reputation. Heck, even the Spec Miata races I've seen lately are cleaner than AI/CMC/SI. If the group wants to be reckless, then I'll consider other options for the new car.

    Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.

    Thunder was the worst group for incidents in 2014.

    A higher percentage of these incidents occurred during the inverted races.

    Do we need to stop the inverts?

    Do we need a 13/13 rule...?
