Back on the track

It was a 30 minute pit stop to get the car back on the track. The exhaust had been pushed off and with what was left of the tubes was pointing at the rear brakes. That was quickly solved by cutting off the exhaust past the mufflers so that was left of the tubes was pointing down.

The longer job was swapping out the front ball joint which was also taken out. From there we re-aligned the car.

We lost a headlight somewhere too (just the glass, not the bulb) so clear tape fixed that.

Finally, the video had been hit, so a minor repair there too.

With all the sorted out, we sent Doug back on the track with a stern "calm drivers get a cookie, crazy drivers don't" message.

In other bad news, we are going through tires at an alarming rate. While we are right by the tire rack center, they can't get us tires until Monday. So I've called every tire shop from here to Reno and Xo and I are now off to sparks to get our backup set.
