Good meeting all of you guys in the meet. It was a great run, except the oil leak thing. All the G and Z are top shape. Can't wait for the pic the come up

Our ZoNC pres took her Z out for her first autox with me riding shotgun and managed to run an 81.xx, 71.xx, 66.xx, then 64.xx, which was right in line with what most of the other Zs and Gs were running. Great job today, Tiff!
I had TTOD before the accident happened with a 51.8xx, but it's certainly overshadowed by the on-track mishap. After the Medivac left, the cops were still hanging around a bunch, so I headed out. I don't know if they continued the rest of group 5 and then finished 6, though I doubt it.

Dear lord.....I hope he is well and has a speedy recovery. It's unfortunate, but mishaps happen every now and then. There was an older gentlemen last year or the year before that had his hip broken in a similar sounding incident. He is a young fella too....is he not? You have to keep your head on a swivel out there.....even then it can be unavoidable.

Nice to meet you Ken (Kenny?). You looked great out there. The oil line blockage ended up being the least of the things that went bad today though. SE5spd (I always spell his name wrong, Seas or something close to that) was working run group 5 and was going to run in group 6. A guest driver of a C6Z06 got sideways and spun out, and hit him while he was working on the track. They said he was "ok" minus a broken ankle, some dizziness, and lots of scratches. I was eating lunch watching the cars run when it happened, and I literally saw him fly in the air when the Vette' came around. I'm not convinced that that's all his injuries because the MEDIVAC came and picked him up a few minutes later. I hope he is ok and hope he or his buddies check in here with us soon.
BTW, what car does SE5spd drive? I am not sure if met him or not.

OMG!!! That sucks!!! I hope he's okay. When I was working in the course, I was worrying about that, too. For example: if a car lose control heading toward you, should you move? Or stay steady so the driver can move his car away from you?

Me too. When I left they said broken ankle and slight concussion, but they also said you had some procedure a few weeks back so were concerned about internal stuff.
