This is the perfect example of why it is so vital to stress the importance of the "blend line" and how to properly and correctly enter the track... even more so by pointing your arm out the window in "point-by" fashion letting oncoming traffic know that you see them and are letting them by.
This practice and technique should be continually preached in every classroom and at every driver’s meeting at every event.
Quote:Ken,
The flagger waived a Ferrari out onto the track and the guy didn't go right away. When he did finally did get moving he entered the track in front of Ben (the guy driving in the CGT) and Cory (his passenger - his wife was the one that sued). Ben tried to move around him and lost control of the car and ended up striking a barrier.
I have my opinion as to what all went wrong but I don't see any negligence. Unfortunately I was not on the jury.
