    BIRD STRIKE! Almost forgot about this until someone sent me the picture ...

    Sorry for the poor quality, the person took the picture with his cell phone.

    This happened as I was going down the front strait at Calabogie at about 105 mph. The darn bird swooped down in front of me and I really never thought I hit it until I came into the pits after the lapping session and some folks started gathering around my car with cameras.

    In any case I caught it right between the upper bumper cover and the lower part of the headlight. When I attempted to pull it out it came apart with the remainder of the crazy flyer stuck inside between the two and no it wasn't pretty to see.

    On another note… The new brake set up is INSANE! The brake pedal hardly moves even under hard tracking with absolutely no fade. I have never driven with such brakes. We still need to adjust the system and the pedals too.

    That is all!

    No damage but I'm sure when I remove the headlight housing I will find some leftovers! LOL.
