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? |
