That was Sunday morning last weekend before the rain started. We were sitting 
at turn 7 and that occured just after turn 8. The 73 car [Corvette] took the 
brunt of the accident. We have track radios and can hear the corner workers, 
emergency personel. The driver, Phil McClure, was intitially unresponsive and 
needed to be extricated, they called for the helicopter to fire up [CART 
weekend so they had one available]. We went down and watched the extrication. They 
took a long time getting him out, during which time his family arrived 
trackside, obviously distraught and he regained consciousness. It was quite a dramatic 
scene!! They drove him to the hospital and according to my reliable track 
sources, he's fine.
