It was 3 strange days in Norwalk Ohio. One of my favorite races and the moment I stepped on the gas things got strange.

I can’t thank you all enough for all the comments, likes subscribes you folks are awesome!!!

Good call on your part Clay. 👍 You didn't want to hurt yourself, your fellow racer in the other lane, the car, and your team. I hope you get to test stomping on the loud pedal before Bandimere. And I hope Brent Levistad gets you to record a bit on the RPM Act for PFI Speed.

Asking the right question .. "What's best for the team?" That's a hard call to make, Clay. When a run doesn't even last 4 seconds and barely two seconds in, you pulled the plug .. that's just intuition and reflex. Solid call. Glad you went to get checked out and asked Austin to drive! Much better to miss a weekend than miss many more seasons! Hope you're back to 100% quickly!

When I first saw the title, I thought your back was acting up after that hard shot you took a while back. Glad to see it's an inner ear problem, instead. They should be able to get the fluid out of it, and get it workin' right, again. The inner ear has everything to do with equilibrium; as you found out. I'm just getting over an ear issue, myself, but it was only the second time I've ever had an ear ache, and because of why I had the first one, I've been a BIT stressed. It seems to be gone, now, so I'm hoping the CT scan will, in fact, be negative. I've been spooked. The first ear ache in my 67 years was last Spring. It cropped up after I had Covid in Jan. Kept aching thru an MRI, a CT scan, and right up until I had my R tonsil and adjacent lymph node removed in late July during cancer surgery. The only symptom I had was the ear ache and a big old swollen lymph node under my ear, (looked like about 25% of a ping pong ball was sticking out.), and the ear ache is a very common symptom of the type of cancer I had. Stress the HAD. I've been 100% cancer free since the surgery, and some experimental target immune system meds, (same tech as the Covid vaccine is making incredible breakthroughs in treating certain types of cancer. It's why it was still experimental when I got it. But, the trial I was involved in was for dialing in the dosage; they already knew it worked; so I knew I wasn't getting a placebo. It kept me from needing radiation or chemo.) So, I'm glad to hear you're just dealing with an ear issue, instead of a potentially chronic back injury; I think you can see why when the ear ache came back this Spring, I got a bit stressed. Especially when the 2-3 meds they gave me didn't really help. When we had the 110° + weather here in the NW, the ear ache just disappeared; finally dried out my Oregon noggin'. Give 'em hell, when you get back in the seat. oh, yeah, re: burst panels; isn't that what's stopped the 80# chunks of aluminum (blower) from flying off when they backfire? LOL Regards, GeoD
