....besides the 914s there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
An Evo driver with a lot more car than talent managed to get into the wall (Jersey Barrier)backwards. No big deal except a course worker was in his path. Fortunately, the guy didn't get smushed between barrier & car....I didn't see the choas, just the immediate aftermath. The car was still moving along the barrier as I got eyeballs on it. Apparently the worker tried to bail over the wall & got clipped....seriously clipped. His lights were out & one foot was over the wall... still attached but just kinda sticking up in the air. The medics said it looked worse than it was......tell it to the guy that got hit. He's in the hospital.....not that he'll remember most of today.

Many people think parking lot or stadium events are completely safe? Since I've been with the Porsche club in San Diego, at the "Q" I have seen a Boxster get destroyed backing into a tree, a 914 hit a hot coals concrete container, a 914 hit the armco spinning in someone elses oil, a 928 hit a trolley overpass support (that coulda been really expensive), a turbo get the front end compressed and a very fast 914 nearly take out a full row of cars when the brake line off the master cylinder ruptured. Personally I feel much safer on a track such as Willow Springs or CA Speedway, guess I'm getting old?!
