111104 - 2011 ARRC - Pro-IT - Road Atlanta -- first 20 mins

First 20 minutes of the Pro-IT at the ARRC weekend at Road Atlanta. I had a great start, but a Miata I'd passed on the 1st lap tried to pass in 10a and tapped my rear bumper, spinning me to the inside. I helplessly watched the entire field go by before I was able to restart. I caught up to the back markers, but never made it back to the main pack. A very frustrating race. As the leaders caught up to me, I had a momentary disorientation while checking my mirrors in turn 7 - slid off the track and into the wall. Fortunately, it was soft and only did minor damage to the bumper and drivers side fender. It pushed back the fender just enough that under braking it would rub on the tire. That was somewhat disconcerting, so I slowed down and just kept my nose clean for the rest of the race. I'm having trouble syncing my data from the data system for this race, so just posting this without the lap times/speed for now.
