I went to Moroso today and lost my brakes at 140mph going into turn 2. What a shitty feeling!!!! I came to a rest with the rear wheels on the top of a tire wall and the nose buried in the sand. Shut the car off and started cussing my ass off for the damage I was getting ready to see. Waved to the corner worker as I was getting out ( on the top of a tire stack 5 tall!! Noticed no damage on the driver side...slight upward lift on the front bumper skin.....walked around and saw a $400 "paintless dent removal" on the 1/4 panel and a ton of rubber transfer on the rear bumper. Wholly ****!!! A fork lift picked up the front-end from the side right on the engine subframe until it was level and the flat tow slid the bed right under it to the rear tires. Fired it up at the paddock and was able to DRIVE IT HOME!!! Did not even screw up my alignment. All I need to do now is get the 5lbs of sand outta the interior and all the tire rubber off the door, 1/4 and rear bumper.

BTW I did'nt even get a headache and I think I should buy a lotto ticket tonight. I'm still not even believing it. Ruined the rest of the sessions because it took alot of time to move the car. Sorry NASA drivers.
