Another thing to note is that NASA hot pulls during DEs. The time that does add up. Red group was black flagged at the last THSCC event for broke cars. (Amazingly I was neither) Both of those would have been local cautions with a white flag chasing the EVs for 2-3 laps at a NASA event.

Green group got black flagged too one the first lap out since a certain someone forgot to put hood pins in. It didn't really affect the session a huge amount though I didn't think. That was the only time we got black flagged.

I'm pretty sure that mistake won't happen to that certain someone again, expensive lesson.

Actually, we wandered over to look, and it didn't do that much damage.

(Lemons may require they replace the windshield, 'tho. I'd have to check the rules about cracks.)

The hinges and hood were pretty damaged. Not by Duff car standards mind you, but their standards maybe slightly higher. :mrgreen:
