The club has been around since the late 60's, and there has never been a serious accident. Once, somebody put a boxy little car on it's side when he tried a decreasing radius turn too fast - that was the worst race-related accident I have ever heard of for us.
Believe it or not, we've never had a tree impact.
The most damaging accident I can remember was when somebody passing by our race lot was watching our race too intently, and not watching his path of travel. He hit the curb, jumped the sidewalk, and smashed into two cars parked in the grid.
My apology for calling him a loser (looooozer) in the title - it was done strictly to generate interest in the thread. The Linc was actually run after regular competition had closed, in what is normally called "fun-runs". The club generates a fair amount of interest locally, and many people like to see what they can do in their DD without actually competing (or paying the entry fee!)
He did not win. He did not lose. He drove, and drove well considering the size of the car and the tires it rides on.
