I don't know all of the details, but Istook's #04 car was *very* banged up after the GA Cup race on Saturday. When I visited his garage they had pieces of the front sub-frame sitting by the side of the car, my assumption (leap of faith here) is the hit(s) he took were severe enough to warrant replacing a substantial amount of the car.

I should have a couple of photos online later tonight, of his car in the garage, and on the track.

Default Collin (our tech) was at the race and apparently a Mustang used the S4 as

a turning aid in a corner he went into too hot. The S4 was very damaged...look on the S4 forum for Don's post showing the passenger side all disassembled.
