UPDATE!!!

Summit Point Raceway Aug 22-23

Last time on Summit this year, i went out for a last run with my HPDE1 student in his stock S14 with just coilovers and HP+ brake pads. Picking up lots of corner speed, adjusting lines and closing in on some form of consistency. Coming through T10 onto the front strait we came in a bit hot with a touch of an early turn in or maybe just a little too much speed. Driver put 2 left wheels off the pavement and tried to get back op on track. In an instant the car pitched 90* and shot back across track to the infield where we slammed into a tirewall in front of a concrete barrier. I hurt my chest pretty badly and went to the hospital for x-ray's, everything came back good, minus the bruises on my chest. Car is totaled, driver is fine, im bruised up and i lost my chatter box. All in all im happy to be ok and working out a way to get in touch with the driver to make sure hes taking it all ok.

Hoping for a speedy recovery, i feel like shit but its all aches in my chest.
