Some writeups on a recent multi-car pileup at Road America Turn 1 recently. Happened at a multi-marque club race.
Identities have been disguised to protect the innocent.
Glad no one was hurt.

H was behind me on my left. You can download his video at:

His shows the real culprits (IMHO).
The two Mudstains behind me come FLYING up the inside with no chance of stopping. Heck, one of them was on the grass. If you watch mine a couple times and watch H's video a couple times you'll get the picture.
Yes, M's car was damaged quite a bit. In my video, you see him get tagged from behind by the black Mustang. I think the Silver Mustang then hits his passenger side and send him across the track. Then the black Mustang and the green Vette hit him on his driver's side. That's TM in the red car directly in front of me on the start. H made it through right behind me.
Oh, I made it through that messy start only to blow my engine with a couple laps left. Do you know where I can get a 3.2L US M3 engine?

Hi, all. If you haven't heard, this weekend was a brutal one for Bimmers at Road America. I've got a video online of the scary Group 7 race start from my perspective. TM is the red M3 directly in front of me.
No one was injured.
The file is about 5Megs so the bandwidth-challenged may have to wait a little while for the download.

Shiny side up!
