...whole new meaning to "nailing it"......I notice it's masonry nail , might of been different if it was a flat-head ( you could have at least narrowed it down a bit)..........probably, hang on I think I found your culprit...

That could very well have been a nail that was used a long time ago when ribbon was nailed to the salt for the "black line" crew to align with.

It really doesn't look big enough. One time Vesco and I walked a huge part of the course picking up nails. The drag went right down the

center line of a previous course and pulled the nails out of the salt. Those nails were probably 6 inches long and 3/8" in diameter and very

rusty.

Looks like the same spikes we use to hold our easy-up down, except it's not bent in the middle and there is no knuckle skin or blood on it so I doubt it is one that I was using.

Adding to this, please inspect you vehicle after each run before you push back. Pieces fall off and and if not noticed until you get back to the pits or impound several more vehicles have run. Every morning and after shut down the stewards sweep the course's and come back with a lot of junk. Oh, they keep any tools they find. With the price of tires it may be yours that is saved.

A sale on recovered Dzus fasteners could likely pay for lunches for the course watchers.

Yeah, I remember a few years back at SpeedWeek -- Ed Shearer came up to my bike at the end of the long course - and was holding a chassis Dzus fastener painted the very same color as my bike, and asked if it was mine.  (Yes, it was -- I remember seeing it was gone from the bodywork during the winter).  He mentioned that they had found it during a sweep of the course the previous year.  I wonder if he and Cris had a whole bucketful of old fasteners in their pickup. . .
