    So bear with me for a second...

    You find out who hit you - what changes?

    It "doesn't make any sense" but that applies to everything we do after sending in our entry fee. How does knowing make anything different?

    It changes nothing. I'd like to see the hit so I can see what happened. Maybe I think I was hit harder than I was. Autotechnic found someone with a video. The offending car was a yellow mustang. I am waiting to get a copy.

    +1 (or is it 2 now) for buying the wrecked car. I'm betting a good 6K of that is bodyshop labor.

    Just as food for thought, my brother and I have always agreed that we won't take anything on the track that we can't afford to have become a 100% write-off. Guess that explains why I'm in IT7 and SPU!

    + however many to buying at the pre-arranged price and parting or rebuilding.
    We rented an SM and the totallled cost for it was $12K. $8500 for the fix sounds steep to me.

    I would say that if you don't know whom the other party is by now, you will never know.

    Did you walk around and look at the other cars at the event after your incident?
    Obviously, it is too late now.

    I agree with Kirk, why does it matter now?

    cheers
