Re: [Fot] Fot Digest, Vol 93, Issue 46 Lime Rock Crash

[George Harmuth <harmug@us.ibm.com>]

I was racing there last weekend in the Spitfire, the crash occurred in
front of my paddock, at the base of the down hill. The car put a wheel off,
pulled back on track, became very unstable and rolled a few times, coming
to rest on the roll hoop pinning the driver. He was thrown half way out of
the car during the roll. A full cage would have made the crash survivable.
A full harness, arm restraints and HANS, with his roll hoop would probably
made the out come much better.
