Default SCCA T1 Runoffs Crashes and My Broken Valve Spring End

Here you can see the melee known as the start of the 2014 SCCA T1 Runoffs Race. There are two incidents. The first one you can see easily between Preston Calvert in the red Corvette and Mark Boden in the BMW. As I crest the top of Turn One you can see on the right the orange Mustang of Pratt Cole in the tire smoke cloud. Center screen and track left you can see Bill Brinkop spinning into the kitty litter outside the Turn Two apex.

Six laps later you can see my engine quietly and peacefully pass away exiting Turn Four. I broke a valve spring and that was the end for my Runoffs before I even got to race GT2.
