An Augument for having Roll Bars
A BMW M3 had an accident at Summit Point on Friday June 22 during the BSR School Friday at the Track (FATT), similar to the PCA DE. This is the same track where PCA Potomac and other WashDC area car clubs run many of their Drivers Ed events.
- The young driver was in the advanced group (without instructor) and lost it on T-3, a high speed, uphill left turn. He apparently was running street tires and 3-point stock belt. No word on his condition. See photos of car at: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=34549&a=244226&p=50807986 - - Photo 3 and 4. - That is one flat roof - I thought it was a rag top until I noticed the outline of the sunroof. Scary! - Chuck |

Sure hope the driver is ok. That looks to be a pretty serious roll over.

Even Worse: Imagine this driver with a harness bar and belts to keep him upright and locked into his seat.
