Jack,
Glad your in one piece and like everyone else here, am heartbroke about your car. I am certain that you will rebuild her better than ever!
Our cars were built to do exactly what you were doing with yours when the damage was done, and for that I salute you. A friend of mine who has crashed a few toys in his day keeps this famous Roosevelt quote in his racer. It cheers me up when I break something or perform poorly in a race. thought it appropriate:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Looking forward to seeing you and BB (2?) back in the "Arena".
Best,
