I guess racers drive fast even when towing.
The "idiot" was a 20 year old female college kid who died. Introduce yourself to me at the next club race so I can smack the @&$& out of you.

I was stuck in the same traffic jam.. On the CB everyone knew it was a very bad accident. Finally came to the incident and saw the coroners van and knew it was a VERY bad end.

Leave the dead in dignity and their family to grieve in peace.

Sorry she died; how was I to know? By the time I got by that mess, there were no ambulances in sight, only a mostly intact SUV on a flatbed. I do know that SUVs are inherently dangerous for rollovers, but you would think that modern ones with functioning seat belts and airbags would provide some protection unless the speed was way too high.

As far as smacking the **** out of me, you're welcome to take your best shot, and you don't have to wait until the next club race.

Actually, being inherently cheap I did run Toyo's part of the weekend & they got chewed up pretty good too!

I thought the mo HAWK was an improvement. Wish I made the cookout on Friday.

Hey, lighten up guys. A young lady died. You're both out of order. Cool it!

Great event! Well run, beautiful weather, and the BBQ was the best track BBQ I'd had all year. Bob, I will email CMP about the track surface; it ruins tires which is a shame because it's a fun track.
