Default Amphibious Boxster -track day pics

I have permision from the driver of this car to post these pics.
This was at a recent track day, i was following this car, and my passenger and i were the first to the scene. We could not even see the car, thankfully the car ended up right side up and everyone was Ok. The passenger in this car was on his very first 3 laps on the track, and ironically has a business that build kayaks, so he is used to sending time in the water!
Sorry about pic qulaity, only had my blackberry with me.

I think there is something all of a sudden with Firefox and the software that this board uses. Maybe IB made these changes that affect us who use Firefox?

Yeah, within the past 2 or 3 days a bunch of attachments no longer process on my computer. I figured it was something server end...

I can see the pix just fine, but I am on IE browser (just drink the koolaide).

What track was this? Thank goodness the car ended up upright.

About a year ago at a DE at MSR Cresson, there was almost a similar event. A high horsepower car went off of Richochet at a very high rate of speed. Waaaayyyyy out there, there is an old stock pond. I remember a flagger saying that the guy almost didn't get the car stopped before the pond!

You'd have to think somebody would install some Armco before you could get to the trees and lake. This is ridiculous.

Holy crap. That was certainly a code brown moment. Yeah, can't believe there is no barricade there.

FF3 and see the pics fine.
