I slipped a wrench off a overhead bolt by putting all I had into it pulling it toward me.

Knot on the head, a black eye and sore pride all in one shot. no long term harm but did spend a couple weeks explaining it about 2000 times.


Take care of that hand!

Seen a doc. No big issues. Just a few weeks with a club for a hand.

When driving your Lemons Car, always remember to torque the ADAPTER lug bolts as well . . .

Greg,
Good luck with that hand. If it does heal less-than-well, remember that one of the top reconstructive hand surgeons in the country is Mark Hendrickson at the Cleveland Clinic, who drives a GT3 and instructs at PCA Potomac DEs (Watkins Glen, VIR, and, of course, Mid-Ohio).

Cue the "hand job" jokes.

Dang Greg, sorry to hear about that. Hope you heal soon.

Do all GT3 drovers wear the same pants??

This video suggests a problem I've never seen discussed in any detail. When the GT3 starts to lose it, he no doubt hammered the brakes. But there was no lockup (can't be with ABS), and as a result, his tires maintained forward motion, and he veered left. A quick lock up would have straightened his trajectory, and might have resulted in a different result. Am I crazy?

PS, if the guy was going to stop to help he should have gone past the wreck.

Doesn't look like either drover had a helmet on!!! Just crasy, but then u paus your money, you takes your chances
