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? |

scary stuff...
It's always sad to see people pass away in accidents. I do it with a convertible, and it's something that has been bugging me for awhile. Last winter, I just bought the bullit, and got a rollbar... was a deal in December (guess it's low sale period of the year). imho, it's the cheapest insurance that I can get and can make the difference between "living to talk about it" and not... but still hoping I never get to test it. |
