How much damage is there to your car? You'd better get that driving suit dry cleaned.
Washed suit
Damage, right rear wheel both inside and outer rim halves damages as they flat spotted the wheel rims (not tires, but wheel), oil hose in fender well was pinched and hose clamp rotated due to tire shredding and pinched hole in hose (luckily did not leak until after I was off track), inner fender well plastic damaged, side skirt hang down from tire shred, rear bumper cover split in half from right side of license plate, under bumper cover metal heat shields pushed in and tweaked and split, right rear turn signal popped out but still intact, entire rear bumper across back hang down on exhaust pipes (no mufflers on car luckly, just pipes).
So I obtained a 996 water hose(yes I said a 996 water hose) and replaced the oil segment that was leaking, used a mallet to pound back the metal heat shield so I could duct tape the rear fender back into what appeared to be a single bumper again (sort of), duct taped the right rear signals back in though right side though lights did not work, redrilled the side skirt back into fender lip and re installed the inner fender well covers, replaced wheel and new set of tires....and off I went for two more days
Made it through two cup races and two qualifying and one practices session. On the Sunday race my duct tape gave way and right rear turn signal was hanging out held in my the three wiring harness to the turn signals. Fender started to slip apart, last lap on Sunday....made it the distance.....hehehehehe Outside temperatures above 100 degrees did not help my body repairs.
