Did the driver get out and ask if he could drove your car?

Looks like they will need NASCAR height containment fencing for that corner.

Well, entry to Turn 1 is easily over 110 mph, I heard the car had some type of suspension failure. What a shame, I wish the driver a speedy recovery from back surgery.

Driver is a Jim Russell instructor and pretty good guy -- was my sons Driver Coach when he went through the Mechanics School.

The Gerbil Raper and him shouldn't be in the same thread.

(I know it was only a joke -- but still adding smileys)
