| I just went to the AMA Superbike event at VIR this past weekend and your video really put the North course together for me. I was impressed how well Ryan made it around the course without having the car fully tuned for the track. I was able to appreciate the g's displaced by the camera focus swaying past it's focal point when transitioning through the curves. I was also impressed how well Ryan was able to nail turn 1 down. I lost count of how many bikes lost it there. Thank you for posting about your experiences at this event. I took some photos of your chassis and engine setup and I knew you had put a lot of good ideas to use that weren't seen easily. Your engine shots show much of that off and your side rear view mirror(s) kicked functional ass! :> It was all I could do to stay out of your way while you tended to the car in the gravel pit with the outrageous heat and humidity. I began to assume it was to blame for your boost loss and I would not have believed an oversight on your behalf would have caused the hood issue. Seeing Ryan make it back out for the 5th lap was was great to see considering the circumstances. You guys are a class act your performance was commendable. Did the boost leak cause any noticeable damage to the engine? IMHO, the fact that you had an unknown boost leak under the conditions you and Ryan raced under and not having the motor fragment on the track, says a lot about your setup. Well done.
