Hi guys i have been gone for a while as i have been vintage racing my 240z.

However last weekend i witnessed a horrible tragedy to a fellow 7 owner. I thought it only fitting to put this here for you guys to to see.

I was there to see this happen and it was not pretty.

I just saw it was posted here all ready.

Scares me as i race that track to and am always worried about gravel on the road at turn 8.

 

I don't understand the accident. He lost control and went into gravel, and that's it? I think its pretty obvious (maybe I'm not reading it right?) that whatever happened to him, happened before all of this and the loss of control was only a result. Either way, its a shame. RIP.

 

One of the guys that I work with was there racing this weekend (don't know what he drives or what class), and from the sounds of the story the roof was the first portion of the vehicle to hit the wall. It sounded like a scary crash.

 

It was 90 out that day and humid as sin. i can only imagine it was 110-115 in car. I think or they think he had a stroke or something of the like. It was a bad crash and that 7 is destroyed. He had a hans brace to.
