Eric,
Great pics...

While you guys were spraying champagne we were all walking back to the paddock saying "Damn, did that just happen"......

Chris, I know you mentioned the hit from behind as a "racing incident"--would you care to elaborate? Did someone simply misjudge a braking point, or did you have to check-up for on-track action, or .... ?

"No, just racing action" (AKA "shut up Dave") is also a perfectly acceptable answer.

Was it a bump draft incident?

I watched some of the NASCAR race from Talledega last Sunday. Bump drafting and reinforced bump-draft-bumpers were the big topics.

Awesome pics guys! Thanks for sharing.

Going into the second turn after the start of the race I could tell things were bottling up in front of me and I held back just a little. At least one driver behind me wasn't aware of the situation and came in a little too hot. His front bumper was just a little lower than the 914 trunk floor. The contact wasn't enough to loosen me up and I thought it wasn't that big a deal until I smelled the rubber and could see a cloud of smoke coming from the right rear tire. Judging by the damage he hit me harder than I thought or felt at the time.
