From roadraceautox.com Forum:
The car lost control after turn 9 between turns 9 & 10, not 8 & 9.
The car did not have a full cage, only a roll bar behind the seats.
The car travelled approx. 400 feet, over correcting twice before hitting the trees short of the barrier at the track cut-over.
It was a latteral impact into the passenger door which was pushed in more than a foot.
No tree limb entered the car, blunt force trauma was the COD.
There was a small fire, quickly extinguished by track personel. (the mis-reported "steam")
