Some footage of practice session at T18. Sorry it's a little bumpy, was holding my GoPro by hand.

Here's another video of the restart after the safety car.......Turm it up!

And another astonishing moment caught on tape. A race car driver, attempting to break a land speed record, ended up somersaulting through the air. Miraculously escaping with only minor injuries.

Look at that video. He's now speaking out about it. Here's the story.

Brian gillespie topped out at 180 miles per hour. And then, this -- somehow, he survived. My memory of the accident only goes up until about third gear.

I was in sixth gear when the accident happened and the car pitched sideways. I have no memory whatsoever of it. Reporter: Watch again as the honda comes face-to-face with destruction.

They had to peel back the rough to get me out of here and cut off the roll cage. Reporter: Gillespie walked away. But not without injury.

Through the spinning and tumbling, the g forces, I had a torn lung. My right lung collapsed. Sprained my left wrist.

At least one concussion. Reporter: And those still blood shot eyes. A custom roll cage along with other safety enhancements, saving his life.

His once-prized car, now a pile of scrap. But his duel with death won't keep him out of the driver's seat for long. The doctor says I have to take a month off.

So, at least not for a month. He says not only is he going to get back in the car. He wants to push the envelope and try to go even faster.

Alright, this is the last of them. Hope you liked them.

Added some more shots to the album --> https://www.facebook.com/kale.bushmeyer/media_set?set=a.10151734378301497.1073741844.658051496&type=1

Pitbull concert after the race

I had 1 too many of the Lupulus (8.5%!! :woohoo: )

Another cool shot by the tower

The track is very accessible and you can pretty much sit at any corner you want to watch. This was T18-19 during the 2nd Practice Session, and you can see Turn 1 in the background

Our view for the race

Our friend had a hotspot on her phone, so we were able to run the live timing app on the Ipad and keep up nicely with the race

Oh yea, and I met David Coulthard and got his Herbie Hancock

Race day

Met up with some other autocrossers from other places in the US after the race for a group shop

Z.B. at Sigmatech in Hilliard will take good care of him. Always has fair prices too.

Ok, I know ZB...I thought he was mainly Subies

While they're not known for working on Japanese cars, I'd have him check out Auto Assets in Powell.

Ok, thanks Chris. It's for an 09 MDX.

bump.....Would prefer somewhere near Westerville or Hilliard

anyone?

I made my Facebook album public, so you can all have a look. Enjoy!

If you go to a track day you get the real deal at COTA. I don't even think there is a way to cut that track down so its shorter. I know Laguna would be bad fucking ass to race, but I would go to a track day ASAP at COTA if I had the chance/car for it.

There is an 'alternate' track for the V8 Supercars (in black)

I've got about 1000 pictures to filter through from my DSLR, but here's few from the weekend from my FB account

Is 10:30 too early for a beer??

Fog on Friday morning, which delayed P1 for about 1/2 hour

West Coast Customs did it to an R8. I remember the episode. Pretty crazy process.

I found this at TJ Maxx, and haven't seen one in there since......

....and yes, I was more excited about this than my son was

Just got my shirt today.

Can't wait.

We got our shirts today- wish there wasn't a giant QR code on the back- I know it won't be worn outside my house with it on there

 

Spring can't come quick enough

:thumbup: :fuckyeah:

I've been through three of them.. all of them leaked and lost hydraulic fluid. Gave up on HF and haven't looked back after getting a Craftsman equivalent jack.

IMO, Craftsman is just as bad as HF.........YMMV
