Well the shop that sponsors my car was able to give me two freebie coil-packs. Hopefully I will have the blown one out and replaced tomorrow. Now just need the weather to cooperate. Hershey is a good bit closer for me as well.

Well it was an inexperience driver... First time Auto-X and he was driving an M6..
I was next in the grid so I didnt really see the accident but from what I was told he lost control of the car on a straight through the islands. His rear left wheel curbed and then his car ended up on top of the island...

It always is...
But there are always going to be inexperienced drivers at autocrosses. I think this is two years in a row now that MSCW has had course designs through the islands where newbies have wrecked. They've gotta stop using the lower lot, I think. CDC manages to have courses with similar FTD's and they only use the upper lot.

Yea CDC courses are sometimes longer.. but there is alot of double gates and such.. the Mazda course was simple and easy to follow... Just that gate is kind of tricky because you had to brake in between the islands and turn left almost immediately.. which is probably what caused this incident.
Honestly if it had been a straight in and out, there wouldn't have been as much of a problem.
