Message	Turn 9(?) at Hallet Race Track located just West of Tulsa Oklahoma. Giving MugenRacer or D-Jay (ttnet names) a ride at Hallet, following a C5 Corvette and Andi Barichi in his Silver Supra behind me... We/I were/was trying to get a small drift session going when I lost it. I jumped over the curbing almost sideways and the exhaust SEVERELY bottomed out on the curbing. Due to the excessive exhaust temps (800c), the manifold willfully cracked. BTW, this is also on video. Sorry for the big pictures. They aren't mine.
