Audi R8GT and 88 CART champ - OUCH!
Not a good day for Danny Sullivan:
IndyCar: Danny Sullivan OK after road crash totals his Audi R8 GT - Autoweek From Autoweek by Mac Morrison 2/15/12- Indianapolis 500 winner and 1988 CART World Series champion Danny Sullivan appears to be OK after a potentially devastating road-car crash on Feb. 10 in California. Sullivan, the 1985 Indy 500 champion and who scored 17 wins in a CART career that spanned 12 seasons, on the morning of Feb. 10 left his Monterey, Calif., home at about 8:15 a.m. Pacific time. Shortly thereafter, another driver--a German tourist who was texting at the time and driving on the wrong side of the undivided two-lane road, according to someone close to Sullivan who spoke with Autoweek--struck him head-on in a rental car. The crash totaled Sullivan's new Audi R8 GT supercar, but both drivers walked away. However, Sullivan on Wednesday told Autoweek--ironically, via text--that he is bruised badly and was in a hospital awaiting a CT scan to check for more serious consequences of the accident. __________________________________________________ ______ Hope he's OK. Nice guy. Met him years ago in Aspen, CO. He was toting back-country powder skis and have no doubts he's great. Scott |

Illustrates that you can be an extremely skilled driver and still have bad stuff happen. Hope he's okay..
