[DMVR] Re: $ vs. skill

[Bell]

From what I read on other boards - always subject to hearsay problems - the 
Carrera GT driver was quite experienced.  This was a Ferrari club event, not 
using corner workers, and with a configuration at Calif Speedway that has a 
very short, rather blind, pit-out blend area rather than the usual long one 
on the oval.  The driver swerved to avoid a car entering from pit-out, and 
lost it at about 150 mph.  The entering car reportedly messed up the timing 
somewhat in its entrance to the track - some confusion between a course 
marshal and someone in the car as to whether to go ahead or hold up.

Sounds like the problems were with the event organizers on track 
configuration and staffing, more than anything else, and somewhat with the 
entering car.  That and driving a street car, however fancy and fast, at 
race car speeds without race car protection.
