    My deepest regrets and my prayers are with you.

    I didn't know Carol, but all three of my children were born at Wilson Hospital in JC, NY. I suspect Carol was like so many...

    Anyone using a scatter shield?

    I see no specific threads about this, and I'm asking because my pressure plate came apart at about 8000 RPMs at VIR a couple weekends ago. :eek:

    During the ensuing cataclysm, the various pieces...

    Kirk,

    You make a very good point! Although, in my opinion there are at actually three different types of potential "problems" when I look at who I'm running with.

    Rickey,

    Still, wouldn't you rather be running with those invisible fast guys???

    Mostly a great weekend! Turn-out seemed a little low, but there were plenty of cars on track.
