First hot lap of the race, Matt (s2k) and I are running hard around the track as usual. I’m about an half a car length off of him as we enter turn twelve leading onto the front straight. A panoz had cut a tire on the exit of 10b and was quickly slowing down in the middle of the turn, Matt went right go around him at the start finish line, unfortunately the moron panoz driver decided to break racing rule number one when being passed of staying on line and pulled the car hard right hitting Matt’s left rear wheel.
My bad luck was I had stayed on line since the panoz had moved, so when the panoz struck Matt’s left rear wheel it spun him across track and into my 115-120mph path. Thus Matt hit the right front wheel/fender of the Z with the left front of the S2K. Of course after that my tail end was spinning 360 degrees and taking turns slapping the wall.
Lucky that it was not a T-bone hit as he could have been really hurt, both of us walked away feeling pretty good physically.
