Ouch. Until you see how fast they were going, it doesn't look like there should have been fatalities.<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> "Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together...." - Carl Zwanzig |

It's your Donald Duck I'm afraid. A prototype Macca F1 barrel rolled at nearly a ton eighty and the test driver walked away, OK, stagered away un-hurt. People die in 20mph impacts even with 8 air-bags. All it takes is a seat belt not to be positioned well and your head comes into contact with the A pillar and it's lights out at that speed. All the same, it's a shame for both the passengers and the car... "I can just punch holes in paper for sooo long before I want to see something blow up/fall down " - Boomer 5th May 2005 |

Here is the link to the news story with photos. The passenger side took the hit against a concrete barrier at over 100 mph. http://www.nbc4.tv/news/4562562/detail.html Here is a link to a message board that I frequent and the driver was also a member of. Many people on this forum knew him. Take time to read the entire thread. Very sad. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61677 Go Ugly Early ! No body's ugly after 2:00 A.M. |

Hogmender, I read the whole thing from start to end and it's very touching. He must have been one hell of a guy for so many folk to have posted tributes. It also shows that real community spirit can live on something as un-real as the internet.

The guy died doing what he loved. We should all be so lucky. <b>There are two kinds of soldiers. Snipers...and targets.</b> <img src="http://www.creedmoorsports.com/images/SA9121-M21.JPG" border=0> |
