Holy Crap!

I saw that... terrible Hopefully everyone is ok. That doesn't seem like a great design though, but I guess you'd assume they'd hit the brakes

That was at PIR, the Celica belongs to Dominic Stone, a very fast STS driver. I won't name names of anyone else I recognize... I will try to get the course map from my brother, he was there in his 3.

Last year we had a guy spin his Evo and went up onto the concrete barrier between the hot lane and the pits, pinning a course worker under the car. The guy ended up okay, sort of, both legs shattered and a buch of other stuff, but he lived...

I absolutely hate the PIR infield. Well worth the drive to Packwood to run events there, although with the new job, it doesn't look like I'll be running at all this year...again...my car is still on the trailer after coming back from San Diego. Haven't had the time or energy to pull it off and fix all the problems I had that weekend. May just part it out and finish my EP car...

thats really bad, i hope they rethink their design and or location cause thats just too close to call it safe.
