last weekend at buttonwillow raceway,two(thats three this year) racers were killed while driving a convertable car(austin healy) with no rollcage! I thought you had to have a rollcage even if it was a OT day,am i right?

im not to sure on the fact's,but i think it was a jaguar.the men were 46 and 70 yrs of age,and they went off after the lost hill turn down in the sweeper(a nice med speed right hander).

I just thought some poeple should know! I work some kind of emergency skill everytime i go to the track.

anyway im thinking more than im writing and it looks like............

Can we get a section on safety?

I read the thread about this on corner-carvers. It sounded like it happened during the lunchtime parade laps. I don't know exactly how that track handles that sort of thing, but here at PIR, the lunchtime laps are done at a slow speed behind the pace car, because of this, they don't have to have roll bars, etc. Something obviously went wrong, and it is always a shame to lose people, no matter what the circumstances.
