I don't understand the fuss, nor the speculation about what happened. Someone took a car to a track (private test or private track event, doesn't matter) at Road Atlanta and hit a wall. Every track event I've been to, except for one, has had at least one mishap, whether it's a car contacting a wall, catching on fire, etc. Next year at LightningFest, there's a good possibility that a Lightning will wreck or have a major problem as a result of running the road course.
I agree with Vinnie. It has nothing to do with racing or not racing. It has everything to do with a LOT of things happening very quickly.
BTW, Panoz has a race and HP driving school at that track.

Man that sucks. I agree. He made a mistake or had a failure. No need to make fun of the poor guy. I am sure if this wasn't a Diablo we wouldn't even be seeing these pics right now so. I feel for the guy or gal. Insurance isn't gonna cover that. -Mat-

If that is coming down the hill before T12, and it looks like it is, then you can have the rear loose all the way down the hill, and if you don’t get it just right…
