I was crewing in IMSA the weekend Rolf was killed at Riverside. His 935 backed into the turn 9 wall when his wing collapsed. He moved 2 cement barriers with that 1800 lb car. That was the only time I was ever at an event where a driver was killed. It impacted me deeply. The silence was the thing. The announcers weren't talking and thats how you knew. I felt most sad for Glen Blakely the fabricator on the car. We were friends with him and you're heart broke for what he was feeling.
