Reminds me of the story Richard Hudgins (designed JBL Cobras, owned VIR for a while) told when he was racing SCCA. He was driving a Camaro at Daytona and the windscreen blew in at just over 200mph.
Joe, ever watch "The Gods Must Be Crazy II". Sounds like a similar situation, though the movie played the results for laughs and they were native African kids.
