I saw some of it. I had gotten loose around the same place in the same lane not much earlier. It's a tough call when you have a green track (must be scrapped b/c of the rain and old rubber), cool conditions and wind. I didn't register a track temp above 72 degrees today, but I made two arrow-straight passes in the left lane. The right lane was a touch loose.

didnt see a crash. how bad was it? i got there at like noon though. i left after the Porches went down the track.
liked the black cobra and grey trans am..
there was someone in a red import car next to a orange Mach1... he had something in his hand while in the staging lane..and a older guy in a red suit said "thats illegal and you're putting us all in danger" and started shouting for one of the bosses and the teenager-ish boy took off walking real fast.. what could he had have in his hand? it looked like a little portable blow torch. it was shaped like a bottle and had a nozzle on it.

Cold air temps, yes that's great. But Nitrous needs to be heated up to work best. It gets the bottle temp up, but that is what bottle heaters are for, blow torchs can heat them to much and cause them to explode.
And yeah I saw the crash, should not have happend.

Yea it was alot quicker than I thought it would be. Even after hearing it on the burn out I did not expect to see it go that quick.
I just noticed I'm in the second pic down. I'm the fat guy in the green jacket next to the white 4th gen with the black roof.
