Pictures before and during the accident.
I just saw the pictures posted by Wayne. Sorry to post these 10 months late.

Amazing pictures.

How about the guy in the white pick-up in frame 2... look in your rearview mirror and all hell is breaking loose!

If I'm not mistaken, that red targa leaving in frame one is me. I remember leaving around that time and it was before the accident.

The pics of the aftermath are even more disturbing. What was the outcome of this?

How did I ever miss this "Train Wreck?" I hate to beat a dead horse... But what the hell! I know nothing of this incident... Can someone share the Reader's Digest condensed version? Please?

German Autofest in Ventura last year. The car carrier bottomed out and got stuck on the tracks. The train came around the curve not Knowing the car carrier was there and couldn't stop in time.

Thanks Bobby!

That must have made a lot of folks just sick!

I don't remember that one making Excellence magazine though...

I've always had scheduling conflicts preventing me from attending that meet... Is it a pretty good one?

Can't beat the location. Right by the beach. I believe it was an old WWII base. Two or three large halls and a large parking lot for the swap meet. Unfortunently I missed last year too because of work.

Great... Now with your inspiration there will be 20 paparazzi waiting at the end of GAF for the next big train wreck.
(Maybe they could take pictures of some of our lives...)

Hey PatrickB, GAF is September 10th and 11th this year. Time to get ready. It is really a wonderful show. Huge quantity of great Porsche only eye candy (and wallet candy)
