New NT01s, new Toyo RA1s (for AI), Grand Am Conti scrubs (as many as I can get.) The Continentals give me about the same performance as the NT01s, but for a lot less.
Well, it was a blast! But my car didn't make it unscathed. During the second qualifying race, I got loose in turn 8 and went into the tire wall. On the last lap!
Ford Racing (Mark Wilson) stopped by the tent with a cart full of goodies.
Thanks to Motorsport Development Group of Houston who worked until 1:00 am. And to Ford Racing, who supplied the parts, I was back out on track in the morning.
I can't believe the support I got from Ford Racing! I'm a Ford fan for life!
Sorry to see that great car banged up. Glad you are OK and it's great how the Ford Racing guys got you back on track. Hope all gets fixed and you get back as soon as you can.

That was the last run for the day on Friday. The next morning I went out in heavy rain just to run a few laps and make sure everything was good on the car. The car was straight and ran just as good as it did before. I was terrified to get back out there in the rain after going into the wall. I really didn’t want to race, but I couldn't let everyone down that got me back out there. I let everyone pass me on the start and drove like my Grandmother for the first 20 min. I finally got my nerve back and drove “ok” for the last half. I ended up 12th.
