Very similar situation for me last month at Road Atlanta. Glad you escaped the wall, I wasn't so lucky.

Oh no.

Bummer. How much damage was there to your Boss?

It was weird- need a bumper, hood, fender. My dad works in the autobody industry so that definitely helps. Strangely the grill and lower fascia escaped and were hardly touched.

Also gives me a chance to make some changes- 302S hood and 302S front bumper bar going in. It sucks but it happens. You just gotta use the opportunity to make the most of it.

Daytona during early October. Best lap of 2:13.17, over two seconds better than last December.

Looks like you had a great day! I follow Chin Motorsports on Facebook and they posted a video on their page this morning of the blue group taking off. I remembered seeing a post on here that you were going to be at CoTA and sure enough there you were. TONS of exotics...and the lowly mustang :)

You can check out the video here

Unfortunately it was in another run group so I didn't get the point by :eek:

Nice! I bet you had a great time. Excellent winter getaway. 8) I have to be in Dallas next week but unfortunately it will be sans the Boss.

Thanks for posting the video. The Blue group was fun and the lowly Mustang held it's own. Looks like a lot of cars, but the track is long and swallows cars and gas -- I was using 3/4 of a tank for each 30 minute session

Next time you go it looks like you will have to bring your 2016 Ford GT down. Lots of high dollar machinery there in Texas. See you next week and drive safe.

That would be interesting :)

COTA is an absolute blast. Started out really slick today after overnight rain, but track dried by end of second session and we had 75 degree temps and Sun this pm:

Bottom right display shows a log of every incident and corner worker observation. Fortunately #58 isn't featured ;)

First time at Inde...3rd and 4th gear track; having a great time and 4 Boss 302's showed.

If you are there with ProAutosports this weekend, @Tucson302 is one of the B302s there. I would have been there as well but had a wedding to attend.

I'll be there next month with NASA if you are around...

Yep Adam and I pitted near each other, have some great pics and video from the last run of the day when all four of us gridded up side by side. It was great to get the car back on track again!
