OK, I'm only going to say this once. Make sure your rear bonnet is latched before you take off in your GT40!

I was just pulling onto the front straight, passed an instructor in a trick 911, shifted to 4th and at a little north of 150 mph the rear half of my car decided it no longer wanted to be part of the team and took its own path. After I was black flagged, I pulled into the pits still unaware of what had happened. Needless to saw I was quite surprised to see that I was missing a rather significant part of my car. I spoke with the instructor in the 911 afterwards and he told me " As you were coming around me I said to my student "wow, that car is fast!" Then I saw the bonnet go 30 feet into the air and I was forced to test my reaction time!" The crazy thing is that I didn't even know it was gone. The car is so powerful that it didn't slow it down at all.

The pieces are already back in one piece and the new paint goes on next week. Needless to say, LESSON LEARNED.

My wife so casually reminded me that it would be cheaper to hit a few golf balls into the woods!
