100 mph Deer strike at Summit Point right in front of me....head & neck go over to track right, hindquarter to track left. Torso through windshield into passenger seat (luckily empty). Blood, guts, glass bits all over the driver & interior of car wth roof peeled back a bunch. Went to track store and bought a full face helmet on the spot. BTW, his car had newly rebuilt engine 2 months prior, now looking for a roller....

I'm scared to watch the vids. Coincidentally yesterday morning someone just in front of me had hit a pretty large young buck in Malibu Canyon. 45-50mph.

What's scariest to me is that in the in car videos I've seen (including the first one embedded in the post above), you just can't see the deer coming. That surprised me initially, but I've seen several in car videos showing pretty much the same thing. It's not just that the car is going too fast to do an evasive maneuver - you just can't even see the deer coming until the last second ...
I've seen way too many of these videos at Summit Point. Personally I won't go there until they deal with this. Scott |
