First up, Queen is shaken but fine.
The green flag came out quickly this morning, with warnings of ice on the track. Queen was having a great run, until she tangled badly with some other cars in the S curves on the back of the track. When the bumping was done and the spinning had stopped she reports that she was facing the wrong way and that the car wasn't moving well under its own power.
She limped the car into penalty box where the judges looked at the strange angle of the driver side wheels and declared that was enough of a penalty for us, that go start wrenching.
Quick assessment is the driver's rear trailing arm is ripped off and we have a cracked rim on the passenger front side. The car is up on jacks and we are taking the suspension apart to figure out what torch will have to fab with steel and the welder to get us going again.
