I had to cut and edit the cockpit video from the last sprint race on
Sunday and send it off to the race stewards on Monday. They planned on
having a serious talk with the driver of the car 3 positions forward of
ours. We got off with a dinged muffler/tailpipe and a couple of 3" long
cracks in the bumper. 3 other cars weren't so lucky. Plenty of expensive
tin lying all over the track.

Just remembered. We got a small piece about 1 foot square at Home
Depot or Lowes. It was for insulating wooden beams and studs when
soldering copper water pipe. Either in plumbing or by the propane/mapp
gas torches in tools.
