The cell phone pic of the damaged rear end on the poor little Lotus….









Brians shop has it torn down already…


The good news is the intercooler seems to be fine - as does the gauge on the Accusump --- so the damage to the structure seems to be minor (as far as we know at this point).

Thanks Payton! The Lotus will be fine… and the worst part is… I don't think Alex even bruised his ego.

Like father like son!

I couldn't resist!

Any time there is a green flag and checkered flag, this can happen. We all know it, and do it anyway. Chics dig bruises!

Glad everyone is ok and had fun regardless!

I hear ya Chad…. ME? And ego?? HA!!!


Not one that will fit in any oversized room that is…


On track days --- I think Charley told me early on…. "visor down - race on!"

So true!!

This is the first track day --- other than when I was following little Tommy around --- where I felt I was finally driving within my skill level. My problem usually comes when I'm on the track with nobody in front of me --- then it's harder to judge your speed and I tend to hammer it too hard. This time when nobody was around -- I actually slowed down and took my time to find the right lines rather than trying to "catch up" to someone way ahead. It was MUCH MORE relaxing --- and my guess is -- my times weren't far off of the hammer down times because I probably carried more speed overall. The "smooth/slow is fast" comes into play -- a lot less jamming the brakes and furious saves -- and a lot more just smooth turn ins and less wheel input.

I even said to Charley at Laguna -- "I think I'm finally learning".


Hey! Better late than never!!

Yep! I called Bondurant and left him a message that I'd like a refund.

The good news is you can't teach drive but you can hope to dial it back a hair.
