So as I read it, the dip-**** stepped out into the roadway with that 10' long pipe, probably without looking, at the exact moment that Schumacher was driving by in a van. Schumacher clipped the end that was sticking out into the roadway with his mirror. Doesn't seem like it would be driver error, does it? I doubt if his skills have eroded that quickly. What I want to know is why MS was driving a van?

I was trying to show that there is more to the story than the way most of the news media had reported it... from the descriptions I read, it sounded as if this guy had been closing his garage door (like he was on the sidewalk) when he was hit, I was surprised to see the actual scene was so wide open.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw you were online... JB couldn't get the time off from work, and we were going to do the Kojote event earlier in the week as well 
Instead we'll go up at the end of September with Schattenbaum for 2 days, and later in the week we'll run the 2 day Kojote event 
What are you doing home? They are having some great weather up there this weekend...

Why is anyone surprised that Schumacher would, well, "Schumacher" into someone? I mean, he did this all throughout his racing career, no? (with Damon Hill in '94 and Jacques Villeneuve in '97 at Jerez).

Here's some video from the BBC, do you believe them?
