Incident #1. (as reported, I didn't see this one) Phil Cull (FV) was
lapping another car and somehow they touched wheels, launching Phil HARD
into a barrier backwards. I'm told he had to be cut from his car, and he is
the most seriously injured.
Incidents #2 and 3 happened in the same race, probably fairly close to the
same time, but in different parts of the track:
#2 Steve Garrett's rollover, as detailed previously by Jack Drews.
#3 Dick Naze, driving a TR2, had his clutch explode about 3/4 of the way
down the main straight. I had a real close look at that one, as a flying
chunk hit me in the helmet. Apparently, Dick has 3 broken toes on his right
foot, and the foot was hyperextended by shrapnel from the blast, and pushed
under the pedals.

I would think not.
