Ugh. So sorry that happened, Justin. Great save though, it could've been a lot worse. Been there done that - several times - with the "oh sh!t here comes the wall" feeling... ugh.

Justin I can't believe a race shop would be so stupid as to install brake lines and not check clearance at full droop, static ride height, and full compression.... that really sucks.

Again justin, glad you were ok...and able to get right back out there.
so i posted on nasa about not taking the head on crash even with the hans. However the more i think about it, turning the car sideways for side impact with how wet it was, you're then praying the tires dont dig in and flip you over. Right? It worked out in your favor here.

Re: NASA @ VIR, Mar 26-28!
Is there maybe a problem with stretching of brake lines for WRXs? All subarus...3/4 brake line issues (although Kyle as far as I know didnt know wether it was brake line or not, he just completely lost brakes).

Safety equipment is, and always will be, strongly recommended by NASA whether it is required or not.
