Don't let it happen to you. If you see you're going off, give yourself permission to do so.

Hey no problem. I gathered as much from what you were saying.

If there was one lesson that was driven home that day it was this one.

When we were at Streets, do you remember me telling you and Charlie about the Mustang driver who tried to save it and went into the wall off Turn 15 at Thunderhill shedding parts like loose dandruff? I must be prescient or something because that's EXACTLY what we did at Buttonwillow, although we were going slower and tires are softer than concrete so we just brushed off the mirror and crumpled up the left side bodywork. But it was in a school situation with an instructor aboard so his insurance will cover the repairs.

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm fine. I'm just going to have it checked to be sure.
