He had pads and leather. He hit a tight corner over 100mph, couldn't make it, flew off the road, and rolled through the farmer's field. I didn’t see it happen. It was in front of me. I seem to recall that someone saw the bike flipping several times through the field – or something like that. He caught up to us, and was mostly okay.

(if the pic comes through) . The passengers of the camera car were not members. The speed differentials were greater than they appear as the camera guy zoomed in on the Panteras as they were pulling away. Inadvertently, he created the illusion that they were following close behind. Or at least I am told by the hooligans who were present.<br><br>Quite by coincidence, A Pantera owner saw the longer version of this guy's drive at a Lamborghini owner's house and contacted the camera guy to send us the Pantera portion. The video was probably an hour long and the Pantera owner just happened to walk through the room when this footage played.
