Another bad crash same team as before another car, Driver not sure how bad he is hurt he is now on streacher! his name is Rocky

They think he was thrown from car cause he was on the other side of Gaurd rail car is demolished! Will post more as it comes or you can watch Speed now!

Best wishes to Rocky!

Ok now they said he was able to climb out of car and over guard rail for safety! It's at night so you can't see much of the crash on t.v

Still no word about the injuries he could have just know he is being transported! He crashed going 180 mph!

I went to the 24 Heures du Mans in 1964. Thank you, Uncle Sam.
Not a great race by any means, but quite an event. Got to drive my Austin-Healey Sprite at top speed (a screaming 90 MPH) down the Mulsanne straight the evening before the race, while turning a couple laps around that renowned facility, along with many, many other young fools, I mean fans.
