I just wanted to thank everyone who came by to make sure I was okay and offered up their CAA tows and or trailers for me to get home, it was much appreciated and goes to show how great the solosprint family is.

After looking at the damage I cracked an oil pan, bent the rad support, bent the frame slightly, ripped the rear tranny mount off but not before it hit and cracked the steering rack, that's what we can see so far. Motor is now out and going to Discovery Auto Collision tomorrow to let Raj and the crew work their magic.

I'll be back for Mosport see you all then.

Thanks again everyone :)

Wow! When you hit it, you REALLY do it hard ! This makes up for the flight that did so little damage at DDT ;)

Glad to hear you & the car made it home safe & sound :cool:.

Sucks about the damage underneath ... I know ALL about it brotha!! :rolleyes: But aside from the off-road excursion, you're really doing well with that car ... it's almost as pesky as a Subaru!!! :p (although it clearly does not handle the "rally line" like a Subaru :rolleyes: )...

Anyway, good luck putting things back together, and looking forward to seeing you back in action at Mosport :).

What happened Mark?
In a nut-shell, looks like he went a little hot/wide through Pro-track Turn 2 (left hander) and the "smooth, grassy run-off" was not so forgiving to the underside of the Integra. Mark can elaborate more.

Mark was collecting frequent flyer points on turn 2 on pro. :eek: That sounds like a lot more damage than when I took my flight. Shit, I drove home - or more accurately limped home but I was home. :)

LOL Yup tapped the brakes for turn in at turn 2 and got back on the throttle too soon and launched the car off the banking hit the ground front end first and proceeded to go about 150 meters into the infield.

Neck was a bit stiff yesterday...guessing if I wasn't wearing my hans it would be worse.

I'll be at Mosport for sure...if not in this car for some reason then for sure in another. :D

Don't worry buddy, just follow my motto: "If you aren't breaking something, your aren't pushing it hard enough!"

Wow thats a motto I have proven. Its the running slow the next time out keeping it on the asphault that I have to overcome. Mark I look forward to seeing you and hearing your car at Mosport. ;)

Everyone was breaking something this weekend, I broke my hub and axle, Ivanno broke his body kit (that seems to be happening often), Opal/G broke down, and Mark broke just about everything! Good times!
