997 GT3 Wrecked w/pics.....with an interesting ending.

[eraser]

I went to my first track day yesterday at Carolina Motorsports park about an hour south of Charlotte in South Carolina. Lots of great cars there, but notably a brand new 997 GT3 delivered to a banking exec from Charlotte last Friday. Let's just say the before and after pics below will tell the story. He basically slid it into a tire barrier! I got a chance to talk to him and is a really great guy and was an even better sport the mishap.

The best part is that after some examining and a little patchwork (ripping off what was left of the front splitter) it was fired up and back on the track after lunch. He was even nice enough to let a couple of guys take it out for a few laps, including my friend I attended the event with.

It was a great day all around, thanks to everyone from Hendrick Porsche and all of the other friendly folks who attended. I've included a few more pics from the day.
