[Shotimes] good news!

[Hartberger, Jason M. AT2 (AW)]

Well the incident I'm referring to happened this morning (not 50 feet
from where the fire was!!!!!), I was late and tired and cut across a few
spaces, didn't see the parking thingies at all. WHUMPWHUMP, there were
two of them. Fortunately, I hit them dead on, so I don't think there was
any damage to anything but my poor wheels! :(

What berms? If you mean the rumble strips, that no BFD.

Subframes are designed at the "weak link" for a sideways impact, like an
angle hit on a curb. The subframe will bend before you break a wheel or
other suspension parts.

What about pounding berms on the road course.  I was hitting a couple of
them pretty hard wondering if it was going to bend something...
