Default Poor Deer

This is a bit graphic but it shows what happens when Porsche meets a deer on a straightaway..

Yup, it's graphic. Although it doesn't feel like it when your drivin' your little comfy rocket ship, it certainly shows us how fast sh*t happens when your *** is flying over pavement at that speed.

I believe the technical turn is organic debris on the track.

Anyone with bad experiences with animals on track days? I wonder how rare it can be.

Wow, the guy in the Boxster is lucky he was passed on the inside by the 911. The deer could have been in his back seat.

" Shorty " Da Matto hit one in a CART " Indy " car at speed at Elkhart Lake during a practice session a few years ago. The deer came into the cockpit.

Not all that rare unfortunately. A guy in my group hit a deer on track at Calabogie last weekend.
