Sounds like an eventful weekend. Wondered how the rain was down there, didn't have any rain to speak of in the Montpelier area Saturday during the day(aside from a sprinkle around noon). Poured Friday night though.
Sorry to hear about the carnage from all of those involved, but glad everyone is OK even if there car isn't.

That motor sounds so sweet coming off the line and going thru the first three gears!

It feels good in the car. The start at Okemo is fun. Plenty of traction and a nice section to run up through the gears before the first corner. I love the traction since it's soooo much fun feeling my body get pushed back into the seat.

Had a great time this weekend.

I kept looking for the green Jetta to show up!
Did you switch to a Golf?

When will it be ready?

Joe-you on the sh*t list for beating the boss?

Joe-you on the sh*t list for beating the boss?

Yeah - I'm afraid to go to work tomorrow...
Especially since he was covering for me on Saturday

(We've still got to work that part out)

Pierre is okay. We're both suffering from hurting necks. I'm trying to replace a clutch on an EVO and it feels like someone's driving their thumb into the back of my neck.

Pierre's car is totalled. Even the transmission case is broken. (again)

My car is really messed up too but not as bad as Pierre's.

Here's a video of my crash. You can hear the strange noise of steering rack dislocation prior to my going off the road.

Watch my helmet enter the frame midway through. I think I'm going to try to get a HANS for next year.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. I'm not looking forward to another piece of gear to put on since it already takes too long for me to get into the car but I value my neck.

I started using the Hans right after my rollover a couple years ago. At first it seemed like a PITA. Once I upgraded it to the sliding strap (standard now I think) it became much less of a hassle and I dont mind wearing it. I am probably going to replace my harness with 2" Hans compatible FIA units at some point because the standard 3" wide harness tends to slide off the Hans easily when getting into the harness and adjusting things.

A safety solutions R3 - can be velcro'd to the seat and left in the car! If exiting in a hurry - tears out of the velcro and comes with you.
Description from the Jegs website

The R3 is the only SFI 38.1 certified device that is totally independent of the seat belts. Engineered to disappear, the R3 is one of the most comfortable devices on the market! Combined with a simple installation of a u-shaped seat pad, the R3 disappears into the seat back, making the R3 undetectable to the wearer. The R3 out performs yoke style devices in all impacts. The low top allows for easier exit. Can be used with all seatbelts (including 3 point) and is the only SFI restraint that can be used without Seatbelts! Available in: small, medium, large, x-large and custom sizes. Also available in child and youth sizes in our Youth Systems section. (Device comes standard with Quick Releases, D-ring Kit, Molded Seat Pad & Installation Manual - everything you need to race!)

There is a company on special stage that allows you to rent to own them as well. I think it's $100 per week. 5 or 6 rentals and it's paid for. I can find the link if folks are interested.
