Watching it again, he hit so hard that the rear corner light FLEW out lol. 2 ****** wheels, rear suspension (and likely, differential too...) is JACKED, front suspension/steering jacked....



....an alignment ought to fix it all :|

I like how the guy comes over to help him on the passenger side and opens his door up right into the curb. Like he didn't already have enough damage from that hit!

That first run scared me!

Thanks for the input so far. The Solo events near me are typically at the local airport, so the issue of curbs, etc. are not an issue.

Also just wondering since I don't have an oil cooler yet should I be concerned? I know the runs are typically rather short but just wanted to know for sure.

You worry too much. Don't drive over your head and you will be okay. We have autox in freezing rain, frozen lake, high wind. It's all good. You control the car at the end of the day.

no concern at all with not having an oil cooler. autox's are short enough to not cause any probs. i did 7 laps concsecutively flat out around heartland park before i even got close to going into limp mode.

Oil cooler wont impact you as much, unless you do a lot of back to back runs and the track is long. You should be ok.

You shouldn't need one. I ran into temp issues when I was hotswapping my car amongst 3 people in the middle of the alabama summer. Shy of that, shouldn't be any issues.


more importantly, an oil cooler will bump you out of any classes you can be competitive in.
