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?

That is just horrendous. My thoughts go out to both families. While I didn't know Robert, I know many RX7 drivers and can only hope and pray.

The way in which that accident occured at that track I would not have thought possible....I would think you could scrub off speed/spin in the space between those two turns...guess I was wrong. The emergency response is trajic, but on a test day, there is no way to get full safety crews in place really. As for the HANS device...I have not purchased one....and I rarely use my donut neck collar...I will rethink this...

The families are in my thoughts....
