Mid Ohio last weekend, just giving a shout out. We were running with the chicane at the end of the "front straight". There was a massive hole before the right hand gator going into the chicane. I am a gator hog, so I tried turning in early and getting the car up and over, but found that big ditch. The sound was on the level of butthole clenching loud, and felt painful...

No issues to report. Ran the rest of the day, checked wheel straightness and balance at the shop monday. Everything is good.

Props to MRR and their 350 reps!

Wow, nothing like a real-world durability test. How fast were you going?

I hit a hard construction lip at 70, which did slightly put my factory PP wheels out of round, as I discovered later. Luckily they still balance ok.

When I read the title I thought you were in Florida and hit a gator crossing the track. Glad to hear everything is okay.

Tease. I saw a dead gator on the side of the road on the way to the track Saturday and wondered how bad it would be to hit one. I still don't know. ;)

Good to hear about the wheels!

Whats a gator?
I thought the rest were bad in a track forum, but you sir... you...

Its the colored stripey things that keep me on track most of the time.
