[DeTomaso] Panteras at the Willow...

[Michael J Becker]

>From the outsider's view, it appeared as though the 348 and the 928 came to
turn 2 about side-by-side at a pretty good speed.  The Ferrari backed off
and got loose, spun to the edge and caught the edge, causing it to flip.  I
don't think it rolled multiple times, rather it tipped, bounced on the
driver's side and then went a bit airborne and landed upon its roof.  There
was a huge cloud of dust, so it was hard to see much from the grandstand.
>From off the track, because of the elevation, you could only see the wheels
of the car over the horizon.  The driver walked away, but did appear a bit
dazed.  He was limping a little bit.  The first drivers to stop (they were
right behind the incident) found the Ferrari on its roof, with fuel leaking
from the gas tank or engine area.  Thankfully, there was no fire and the
driver was easily/quickly extracted.  He looked like he was ok while I was
standing near him in the pits afterwards.  I was not acquaited with the
driver, I'm not sure if he was a Pantera club affiliate.
