[Fot] Racing Anomaly

[finishing Touch]

The lighter side of racing:

Sunday during the Pittsburgh Historic medium bore sprint race, I was 
racing down the back stretch in my TR6 when I saw a car in front of me 
kick up a piece of rubber (marble) and it was coming my way. My natural 
reaction was to blink and I heard it hit my car.  I thought nothing more 
of it until I went to look at my dash mounted rear view mirror which was 
now turned sideways.  On the next lap at the end of the front straight 
away, I navigated the hard left hand turn and pushed the throttle which  
wouldn't fully open.  Glancing down, I saw this piece of rubber on the 
floor wedged under the throttle pedal. Fortunately after breaking and 
taking the next a hard left, it became dislodged and I was able to 
finish the race with normal controls. What are the odds of that?

It's the biggest 'marble' I ever captured and is now just another 
keepsake for my racing display case.
