That was hard to watch, and it played over and over, but he seemed to be somewhat ok at the end. This is the part that scares me about competitions like that, only takes one incident or person to really ruin your day/days/life.

Otherwise, it sounds like you had a blast even with all the issues you had, but they are lessons learned. I was concerned with the aluminum fasteners when you mentioned them, but now I think I might opt for something a little stronger. When you got home, did you notice any engine issues or other components that might need reexamined?
