I did that a couple of years ago. It is strange to slide sideways for several hundred feet and think 'those are sure funny lines I'm making in the track'. Just bumped the wall, got back called my body shop manager and told him we would be home in about 5 Hrs (Houston) and get me some body people. Those guys took care of me and Tuesday we went to Gainesville. Put the brakes on, not too hard I thought, but a trans failure ahead of me in the lights, which was cleaned well, and cold day in Houston in Feb I think. I wasn't hurt and Thomas wasn't either, except for a little ego repair, and all is well. It's racing folks. In my case I had a little body repair in addition to the ego. Helps to have another DP sitting there for parts. See for 2 cents I give you a dollars worth.
