A little follow up. On a lighter note. I told the corner workers I was goin=
g to need a flatbed. A pickup truck with a tow rope shows up=2C assess the =
situation and called for a flatbed.  Flatbed shows up and immediately sinks=
 down to the wheels in mud. They had to call a second tow truck to now pull=
 the flatbed out. The guy from the original pick up truck crew then comes o=
ver with a baseball bat and we proceed to tweak the sheet metal around enou=
gh to be able to be pulled out with his tow rope. All the while the next ra=
ce group is gridded up ready to go out watching the rain clouds roll in. Wh=
ich they did and proceed to open up about the time that group got the green=
 flag. To you guys I apologize!

More thoughts. After we got in we had to go talk to the stewards. First the=
y pulled the Alpha driver aside and got his version. Then they pulled me as=
ide and got my version in which I described in great detail what I was sure=
 happened.  Then they asked if I would show them my GoPro video which I pro=
ceeded to do. Funny how what I thought I remembered happening in great deta=
il didn't happen exactly that way. I felt kind of funny but the steward wer=
e good about it and said don't worry=2C that is usually what happens. I was=
n't trying to lie about it=2C I truly thought those details where what took=
 place. Anyhow=2C after they watched my video about 5 times they told me in=
 was in the clear and that there was nothing I could have done and that I a=
ctually acted as a buffer for the Alpha and prevented him from driving stra=
ight into the armco at speed which would have been pretty bad for him. Luck=
y guy that Alpha driver is. :) His car hardly had any damage=2C my drivers =
side is well=2C not so good. As I was waiting for the tow I walked out on t=
rack and picked up a big chunk of fiberglass fender that broke off his car.=
 He wait a minute=2C that must have been from a previous track event becaus=
e  people do not run fiberglass in vintage events do they?   :)
