Wasn't it a woman that got hit? Didn't she make it okay though?
It's been a while and don't remember the details... perhaps someone could clarify.

Video has been around for awhile and shows up every couple of months. I think I remember hearing that the guy that got hit was a track official and he walked away with minor injuries. Not sure though.

I believe that was at the plant in Bowling Green during the 99 cararan. The person who was hit was OK and was in the wrong place on the track at the time it occurred.

We all push it hard at the track and you can loose it so I can't fault the guy driving. Hard driving is risky, it was an unfortunate accident.

That was hard to watch!! I've heard the story that the worker was ok but did the driver flip the Corvette? The last pic in the video leaves questions.

I for one like to read the multiple postings and it is good for newbees. When I first joined the forum I appreciated seeing things every else already knew about. (Sorry if this seem like thread hijacking don't mean it to be)

I feel for the driver and the folks hit.
