Ouch, at Petit Lemans practice today Scott Sharp hit a car coming out of pit road, flipped 2 or 3 times and apparently made contact with the fence while still upside down. Amazing he walked away from it but hopefully the car can be repaired before this weekends race assuming the tub is still good. Apparently there are only 2 ARX-02a tubs out there, the other one being the De Ferrans car. ☹[More Pictures](http://www.endurance-info.com/version2/photos-endurance.html?page=244&np=0)

I was all set tp jump in with a smartass comment like “what Acura is worth $1,000,000?” But when I saw the pic I decided to STFU.
