Geez...mixing up all that adrenalin, testosterone, HP, speed, and low visibility its amazing that this doesn't happen every race.

I think it caused poor judgement on both parties and the result although unexpected was probably inevitable eventually.
(That someone was going to get seriously injured during a race)

As a matter of fact I do come from the cold white north originally as do many others in the southern states. You can only take so much of the white stuff before you cave!:ah:

Didn't you know the the US is actually 15% populated by the funniest Canadians. Where did you think the US gets its polite people from?

Only problem integrating is the racial jokes, I found out that those don't fly well here at all and with all the guns around those jokes may not end well.

Shall I tell you the story of Nantuk and I?

Here's my dad's take on it, he's a DE driver/instructor for AMG/Mercedes.

I see these accidents on the track all the time, then try to figure out why it happened. But I was not there to see this one so I can't say how it went. But we have to yell at newcomers all the time to stay in your car after any accident unless it is on fire. The safety gear in the car will protect you from harm, to get out of a car and stand on the track is beyond stupidity. No racer would ever run over some other racer on purpose. IMHO. :-)

He's got more track time then most of us on this forum, so figured his two cents would be interesting.

And, no, even he doesn't get to drive my car.

Canada does produce a lot of comedians/funny people. Let's face it, you have to have a sense of humour to put up with all this white stuff we get!

My apologies for going a bit off topic. Sorry.
