Watkins Glenn Conti Challenge ...

Never been so sick to my stomach in my life.
ST car spun in the laces of the boot and was sitting on the putter edge of the track.
Corner workers were waiving yellow flags and pointing mike to the inside
As Mike slows down and goes around the corne he sees the 328...
He heads all the way to the inside... As he gets closer the BMW up the car in her an dries head on into Mike.
We had the perfect car for the conditions.
We absolutely had the best balanced and handling package for the 90 degree track.
While the v8s struggled to put the power down... We were flat from turn one till the brake zone at the bus stop.
We will be missing the Indy test next week... As the car / chassis is pretty much written off.
The roof is buckled... The floor is buckled.
Another little rid bit about our front control arm development.... The right from arm bent... But did not break.

When you see the video of this.... You will be sick.
PS.......
We are lighter than the AM Performance cars ever got down to.
The legal weight for the car per Grand Ams rules has not changed ... It was 2900 lbs it currently is 2900.... They struggled to get it down... We have a ballast box in the car with 15 lbs in it.
Sorry for the rant.... But seriously not in the mood AT ALL...to deal with another AM performance rant.
Get the facts .... Seriously

As for now.....

You guys have our support. I hope you get back on track soon.

And don't worry about AM ranting... it's only one troll that likes to try and stir your pot.
