VIR Test Session 1 lap and crash 04 11 2019

This is our first test session at Virginia international Raceway (VIR). What an amazing track, I have been excited all winter knowing this was our first race of the season!! We have never run at VIR before and the plan was to use the test day as a chance to get some experience. Unfortunately this was not to be.....you will see in the video that an on-track altercation sent us flying into the grass at 110+MPH (ignore the on screen gauge, I mistakenly set it up for KMH). The ensuing impact in the grass after going airborne caused significant under chassis damage, we spent the next 6 hours thrashing to get it back on track. After welding the k-member back together, making a new exhaust out the remains of the original, reattaching the front bumper cover and replacing the 2 destroyed front tires and wheel we were able to run the last session of the day. Not how we planned to start the season but at least we got running again....more to come from the weekend.

Thanks goes to Steve Ott for loaning us a welder!!
