Re: Huge accident at Brian Redman Challenge
That is horrible! It makes me sick. Glad no one was hurt bad.

Re: Huge accident at Brian Redman Challenge
I don't think anyone was seriously hurt. They took time to remove the Cobra driver and put him on a board. The driver of the Black Z, Jim Brady, had his arm bandaged up about an hour after the race but was walking around. Morrison was riding his golf cart around the area. He has no cage on his #77 Corvette, only a roll bar. His car had four cars on his, one up to his windshield, one to his roll bar, the Z on top of the whole mess. Collins car was on the pile also. How Morrison got out OK I'll never know. My friend in #64 was OK, not hurt at all for the hit he took. We all went to the lake to watch the sunset that evening and his right arm was certainly able to hold a can.

Re: Huge accident at Brian Redman Challenge
I mistakenly started a thread in the 'Other Events' section of the Main Index. You can go there for pics of the wreck.
FYI. Yes, Colin Comer's Trans Am is atop the pile and the race was to take place while the finals of the Concours was taking place. Colin had both his Cobra and Mustang in the Concours. When his name was called as a winner, the M.C. said that he in the wreck. All of a sudden, up walks Colin to everyone's surprise. He said he had put his driving instructor in the car for the race. Lucky guy...cars get fixed better than drivers! No serious injuries but alot of damaged cars...and egos.

Re: Huge accident at Brian Redman Challenge
Now that the initial shock has been absorbed.....what's going to happen to this vintage rides. I am sure they will be rebuilt if at all possible. Is there any type of insurance they can get or is it strictly coming out of the owners pocket.
Is the track any way liable? Not trying to open a can of worms but just curious. Thoughts/comments?

Re: Huge accident at Brian Redman Challenge
I know the owner of the #25 AC Cobra and he has already said he is going to restore the car...and yes, it is a real small block Cobra (CSX2***). His mechanic told us it wasn't saveable but Fritz obviously has his sights set on putting it back together.
I know of no insurance that will cover a car during a race event. I believe the repairs will come from the owner's pocket. Hope they are deep!
