Yeah, I meant Turn One, not two, and I saw it on the ground the next lap--thought it was a hose myself. Probably should have gone back after the races and picked it up, it wasn't an inexpensive bit.  

As I recall there were two TR6's, Tony and the TR250K and me--they waved me in because I missed the presentation for Group 4.Ttony was second, Sam was first and Jim stoufer was third. You might be talking about Tom Kreger--he blew up. http://www.mylaps.com/results/showrun.jsp?id=951067

 It turns out I lost a shock: GONE. All that's left is the lower eye. No idea what happened except we had to remount the shock in single shear because it was binding.  
 
We saw the shock drop off the car on corner one, it looked like a coolant hose from where I was in the grandstand (black tube). 


I finished fifth, turned about a second slower than the group 4 race and two seconds slower than the qualifying race, but I would have had to pick up two seconds over my best time (2.222--pretty cool considering Peyote's number is 222) to be in contention for fourth, four seconds to do anything about third or second and TEN seconds to give Sam any trouble. 
 
What happened to the other TR6 driver that got third place? He didn't  go to the Victory circle presentation. I took pictures of the four cars that were there, then when I got a copy of the results noticed that one car was missing.
