So my race weekend ended with a serious crash
I got the call at 5:30 AM on Sunday at Mid Ohio, WTF needless to say I had to pack up and leave without saying anything to anyone
If someone said my race weekend would have ended with a crash I would I thought of me in a wall not some chick with her SUV in the middle of my store.

Ken, your shop made the morning news.
The reporter said that the shop stayed open for business.

I arrived from Mid Ohio at 9, when I got there they already had all the major debris cleaned up and the temp wall framed in. I got all the product tossed and the dining room cleaned by about 12:30 and we reopen the dining room by 1 PM.
We were open minus Donuts, we had to throw everything away that was up front + about 36 gallons of Ice Cream.
This was 12:30 on Sunday 7 hours later

My question is, why didn't you bring and bagels and donuts when you came to Mid-Ohio!? 
It was good meeting you finally - hope your car is ready for next month!

I did, that where the donuts come from at NASA central. Now that Brownlow has a coffee maker we'll have DD coffee also.

By any chance did your sign out front say "drive thru"? (insert blonde joke as needed...)
Seriously, that sucks, I hope no one was hurt.
