I was taken out this past weekend as well. A Spec Recker Ford dive bombed me and another driver in the cork screw at Barber Motorsports park. I was on the outside of the turn so I was the one that got hit. It broke something in the rear end so i only had drive from the left rear. I tried to drive for 3 laps but it was too much of a handfull and decided to stop so I wouldn't wreck. I am going to write a letter to the race chair and see if something can't be done. I will suggest putting the Smash Miata's and the SRF together and let them whale away on each other!!!

Mike
