<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I can relate to something similar. Running a National at MO in 99 in my RX7. During the race coming on the straight after the keyhole quite a way back from the nearest competitor had a small rock find its way past my ls mirror, window net and small eye opening in my helmet. It found my left eyeglass lens and shattered it. Ended up running about 7 laps fighting with a guy over 3rd place right up to the flag. he got it. Ended up driving 10 hours home mostly in the night thru the usual road construction during the road work season. Not fun. Lesson learned, shield down inside a tin top.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cheers</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div>

<br clear="none">
Sunday during the Pittsburgh Historic medium bore sprint race, I was <br clear="none">
racing down the back stretch in my TR6 when I saw a car in front of me <br clear="none">
kick up a piece of rubber (marble) and it was coming my way. My natural <br clear="none">
reaction was to blink and I heard it hit my car. I thought nothing more <br clear="none">
of it until I went to look at my dash mounted rear view mirror which was <br clear="none">
now turned sideways. On the next lap at the end of the front straight <br clear="none">
away, I navigated the hard left hand turn and pushed the throttle which <br clear="none">
wouldn't fully open. Glancing down, I saw this piece of rubber on the <br clear="none">
floor wedged under the throttle pedal. Fortunately after breaking and <br clear="none">
taking the next a hard left, it became dislodged and I was able to <br clear="none">
finish the race with normal controls. What are the odds of that?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
It's the biggest 'marble' I ever captured and is now just another <br clear="none">
keepsake for my racing display case.<br clear="none">
