    From the video that was posted, imagine you are driving the camera car and at 19:29, you crest the hill and the car in front of you is only doing 20-30mph, versus the 80-90 of the last lap. Pretty much what I saw - a car, no brake lights on, realized it was going much slower than I was, and initiate evasive action.

    Part of my observation is that the flag station track left at the top of the hill, say 19:26 in the video could have had a waving yellow.

    Does that help?
    I understand what happened now. Thanks for explaining in simple terms a guy like me can understand.

    How bad was the damage?

    Ish.

    We cut the outer panel of the quarter off this week. The door opens and closes well. It popped the glass loose from the rear hatch. We'll have to straighten the quarter/door opening panel, pull the rear panel corner a little, and probably porta-power the lower/inner part of the quarter behind the bumper cover where the T-top hole is. We just happen to have a right side rocker/quarter that hadn't made it to recycle yet.

    I think less of an effort than the radiator core support and strut tower replacement from the last work.
