    Default That's gonna leave a mark...

    Some parking lot carnage from Portland International this past weekend: Linkie







    Sounds like an honest accident coupled with very poor course design...

    Damn.....

    The guy let his friend drive the 4th run. The friend was driving a nice mid 90's Vette and was one of the fastest cars in the run group. So as he came through the finish cones, he went to grab the brakes but got the clutch instead and this is the aftermath....

    Ouch...

    Fun runs are DANGEROUS!!! Some of us learn the hard way.

    BTW, that was hilarious that Ken was busting your chops and he didn't even live here at the time. You must be a local Lotus celebrity!

    The question is did they other drives kill the person in the vette?

    I wonder if the Fast Track Cafe in the background that serves beer had anything to do with it?

    That poor GT3, 99% sure a GT3 is my dream car. Kinda makes me sick because I could work my @$$ off my entire life and never even get to drive one

    You might be able to rent one for a day or at least a few hours.

    I think there might be one for sale in Portland, cheap.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    So, unlike the Porsche...When a Miata gets hit, you don't lose everything you saved for in life, right? Because I think that's how it works in my mind...

    Were all of those cars parked at the finish line? What were they thinking?

    Even pro drivers make mistakes, but these were no pros. This scenario is very unfortunate.
