My heart sunk

[dart1963]

I ride this road a couple times a year... I've told people to take it easy, seen too many big trucks and young punks in cars flying around and crossing the lines.... there isn't much room to evade if they come in your lane... but man... this is just bad:
63 year old man out riding and lost control, took out four of seven riders, killed one, others in critical.

Those old school sportscar are dangerous. Some od them have a shit load of HP, drum brakes that quit working after 10 minutes of abuse all that on 4" wide tires. We won't talk about general handling... I drive these cars all the time and even going slow some if them are scary to drive.

Hope everyone get well...

this says it all:

a little write up: Is Route 211 Becoming the New Dragon?

"So next time you feel the urge to run those roads faster than your skills are attuned to or than your angels can fly, ask yourself this one simple question: Is it worth the risk? "

I think the ripples are shadows...
However, he was obviously driving outside his (and the car's) abilities...

That *really* sucks...
