Title: Poor Mom!!!
Post by: TrackBrat on December 08, 2008, 09:03:53 PM
While working the Porsche Club on Sunday at Roebling Road she had an unexpected visitor custom detail her Toyota.....................(Some of you know Susan James right?)


Seems as though this Porsche lost control going into Turn One, barrel rolled over the station and landed on mom's car. Running for her life, she turned around after being slammed with a bunch of dirt to see this mess.  Driver (except a broken vertebra in his back) and mom are ok but the car was considered toast.  She sent me these pics while we were hanging out at Homestead.....

Maybe she'll come out to the races with me more from now on...hehehehehe

Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how this pans out. Wish she would've got some pictures of the (or was)  $150,000-200,000 Porsche.

Probably barrel rolled over the armco. Porsche 911 varients have a tendancy to BOUNCE when flipped over. Been there, done that.:D

If you are trying to pass 4-5 wide on that straight,  you are going in the grass.  Not a whole lot of traction (or control) out there in the field for some reason.  :biggrin:
