How not to start a race ... a few images from yesterday at the BRIC weekend. Not sure how it happened or if there was anyone badly hurt, but apparently the emergency services did a fantastic job.
Thankfully no one was seriously hurt. Rumor has it that the flag man wanted to slow the start and the back of the field accelerated anticipating the fore runners had taken off.
These appear to be pictures taken by Dick Carlson (of Age & Treachery Racing, Ltd) you can see the rest of them at: http://www.pbase.com/atrltd/bric2005
The comments at the bottom of the page are interesting. Many of them are from the drivers and other folks involved in the race (start at the bottom of the page for the first comments).
I was there but on the opposite side of the track when this happened. Apparently there was a fist fight that broke out shortly after the pile up. A GREAT event but a pity this happened.
