Apparently we can look forward to even higher insurance rates for SCCA events next year....

I gather this was from Central Illinois (Rantoul). Don't know the details, but the fifth hand story was the guy lost it in a slalom, skidded until he hit grass, at which point it caught and flipped. Rumor is the put on a spare tire, rolled it back over and the guy drove it away.

yikes !
reminds me of a similar accident... but on flat asphalt... a swift w/ stock suspension on race-rubber doing a slalom going too fast, and not letting go to not get a DNF. every turn of the slalom was worse and worse until the wheel actually dug on the asphalt and made the car tip/roll.

Hope the driver is not injured.
if the guy drove out of there... wonder if he's gonna roll the car in a ditch.
