Glen,
Sorry to hear about the incident. The Glen has taught many of us a lesson. I totalled an RX-7 in the Laces early in my driving career. I will NEVER forget the look of terror on Carol's face when I exited the Ambulance after the track's madatory check out ride after a heavy impact.
That "look" made me re-access the entire driving thing. I obviously didn't stop... But, it helped me understand that I do this for fun, and while the thrill of being on the edge is part of that fun, it's not the main factor. It helped me realize that I enjoy the social aspect of driving more than the thrill factor and that I could still have a blast while driving within my margin of error.
It was a hard lesson to learn, and I unfortunately had to learn it the way I learn most of my lessons - the hard way... But, like yourself, I wasn't hurt and cars can be replaced.
So, take this opportunity to learn a lesson or the next one may not be so subtle!
Take care,
Jack
