Shame to hear of another death, but it is a dangerous stretch of road requiring a lot of respect and most say an average 4 years to become comfortable enough to run 9/10ths. I didn't know anything about this event (I wasn't even aware it was one) but what it is not is a renamed Pacific Region Ferrari Club/Norcal Shelby Club Virginai City Hillclimb as that still takes place 18-19 September. That is as long as this latest death does not cause the authorities to pull the event permit.
