Yea im fine... Actually the car drove back to the transporter fine... Just knocked rear toe in a bit.
The other bummer of it all ... SCCA gave the Z a new tire this year.... Only the rear tire they gave it is 6" larger in circumference... And it killed the car. The gear was really awful and cost .7-.8 seconds a lap on acceleration.
We were about 4 mph better rolling min speed through the carousel... But 2mph slower entering turn 1.
We would have gotten to a high 1:28 in qualifying for sure... The temps and psi had just came up
Boys are now burning the midnight oil trying to build a new #14 for road america

And yes that is the astons rocker panel hitting our A pilar and left front tire coming down on the front window.

Fark, the Doran boys build a strong race car then (or was that a NISMO-built chassis) ...
