Default Re: Huge accident at Brian Redman Challenge

I was at this race and at the start/finish line on the starting grid for the chaos. I spent the last three nights at the house of the owner/driver of the #64 black '69 Corvette and we watched some in car videos of the event last evening. He was hit by the red '65 Corvette at full speed and his car lifted completely in the air. His car then hit the car in front of him and spun. He was looking at oncoming traffic with cars going full bore. He finally ended up slamming backwards into Dick Mooney's Corvette. Bill Morrison is under the mass of cars, he seemed fine. Bill bought that car as salvage in '65 and has been racing it since. He built a sister car to this one that I owned and raced a bit. I flew in a helicopter over the holding area for all the cars, there were 18 there, most severely damaged. The Cobra and the two real 1967 Z28's with TA history were all beautiful and are toast, especially the black Z that Reggie Jackson owned. Very sad indeed.
