Day1 checker

As the day wore on things went less well. The butchers bill tonight is a bit more than yesterday and mostly involves hammering sheet metal.

Before I get to that, the good news is even with the bump, there were no black flags and the Z ended up in 22 place. That's very good for us and the fact that the only time off track was routine pit stops for drivers, has made for a fast day. 



The bad news is the 'bump' took out the passenger door. Lugnut reports it wasn't sever and no black flags were issues, but the doors hooked up and the sheet metal damage means hammer gets to work on his nick name a bit more.

Speaking of Hammer, he finished his stint in the D with a bit of contact and a trip through the penalty box. A long pit stop was needed to repair the fender (more hammering) and fix a striped lugnut. Once resolved Sparky hopped in and started his stint with a spin and another trip to the penalty box.  Driving the D like the Z doesn't always work well :-(  After that, things calmed down and both cars ran to the checker. 

The pizza oven has been fired up, the temperature has dropped and everyone if feeling good.
