i love post-Hizzyfest writeups...mostly because i couldn't be there 
that's awesome news about the power coming back (and a great lesson in "under the curve" being so important compared to peak, judging by your 7hp deficit but better overall performance) and your dropped times and charge all the way up to 2nd briefly. total proof you are a front runner now with the car's development now matching your own.
sucks hard about boinking that SE30. it sounds like you went through a lot of personal grief dealing with the decision and at the end of the day, its a tough lesson but probably one of the best you'll ever get and hopefully a good perspective in the event that someone ever puts a dent on you as well. i'm glad to hear the other driver was chill about it. that poor driver's side corner of your car has been through hell and back this past year, huh? i take it the frame rail is non-structural (in the sense its ahead of the strut and not affecting geometry) and they can just brute-force it back to straight?
i hope its patched up so you can give it hell at Slummit, you are getting too fast to ease up now :thumbup:
ps that dog is adorable
