Take a look at the crash site on Google Earth:<br><br><a href="http://tinyurl.com/kdcomk5" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/kdcomk5</a><br><br>
Doesn't seem like an appropriate place to be travelling at triple-digit speeds, does it? Especially with people around. <br><br>
Based on the speed and violence of the crash, I can only assume that he was approaching from the south, and lost it at the exit of the long RH sweeper, and spun into the tree on the inside of the 'track' at corner exit. No way he could have attained that kind of velocity going the other way.<br><br>
Mind you, if he had made the corner, he was going to have to seriously honk on the brakes to make the 90-degree corner in front of him!<br><br>
