Agreed, that's all I could think of as I watched.

Injuries?

Right hand drive car. I don't know if any of you have had a chance to drive a right hand drive car on track but it takes some getting used to. It's not hard to forget there's a passenger seat beside you when you're accustomed to putting yourself up against the barrier/curb coming out of a right-hand corner.

Just missed the crash (showed up a bit late).
It's a track day. **** happens. Too bad for the scoobie owner.
First car accident i've heard of at the track and i've been going since the first event there. First incident for CSCS as well.

Torontoworker is right, the bale positioning for bikes and cars is different. Usually the bikes run the opposite direction of the cars too which makes me wonder (though not much) about why they were out there to begin with.

Well, between the picture and the comment, I guess that just about sums it up.

Well unless you went parading through a farmers field there aren't usually bails of hay to worry about;-)

Not sure I've ever seen a setup like this on a track. TMP is a bit of a joke though...

The fantastic and professional vehicle recovery was great as well...
