The look on your face after you came back from that pass was priceless. Out of all of the things you could have broken you got off cheap.
It was great seeing you back at the track running in the 10's.

Had a friend do that coming back from the TA Nats in Ohio last yeah. Flew off at about 70 mph hit the interstate slid off into the grass and didnt shatter I dont understand how that happend but it did.

I had that happen when I was test driving my car. The place I bought it from didn't latch the passenger side. It ejected around 65 and went about 30 feet up in the air. I was praying it would land in the grassy median, but sure enough it landed in the road, and a car ran over it about 2 seconds later.
I grabbed all of the broken frame pieces to take it back to the lot. I bought the car and they gave me one off of another car. Had I known at the time that you could switch the locks I would have saved the broken one, but I didn't.

haha hah yeah, he failed big time, didn't even get to see it explode all over the road.
That sucked btw, I spent probably 20 minutes cleaning all the glass off the road with a leafy tree branch as an impromptu broom

I had that happen on I-64 in Newport News during rush hour once. Never did find it, I looked all over. Hung on to about 55mph, then....whooosshhhh.
Yours did not shatter it seems though, surprising.
