Posted 08/11/09 01:09 AM Share Posted 08/11/09 01:09 AM Yes, I do know about it....as an ANDRA Steward, I got the details of last nights tragedy early this morning... Two bad incidents that happened within minutes of one another..... A competitor in Super Sedan hit the wall hard and had to be cut from his car after complaining about neck pain (we dont take chances with something like this)... so rather than try and manouvre him out of the car they cut through the cage and bring him out in a more "back friendly" position..... Not long after, a competitor on a Harley appeared to misjudge the exit out front and high-sided his bike....unfortunately, he suffered fatal injuries.
