    Bummer, was wondering if you were just going to get lunch or gas to return or actually heading home early.

    A hose or something with Power steering failed.... that was the fluid on the track... and all the smoke... By time got back to the pits it was empty... Glad there was no fire ... I brought my leaf blower to help cool things down if necessary , it worked well lol....

    ^^^I had a similar thing happen at Mosport. Tailstock seal popped out and dumped oil right on my cats. Looked like an F1 car blowing a turbo. I remember looking in the mirror and my first reaction was: “woah! Somebody blew an engine!”. Then I realized it was me!

    When the steering felt gone, I thought the belt came off again , Then I noticed all the lingering smoke, then i assumed fluid of some kind.... Brakes felt funny also.... Happened really fast...
