I was with Bob Quinn (our BFG rep), Bob Frogner and Michelle, in the main
grandstands. I was the only one of our group that had continued watching
Wollek as he went up the hill. I said some sort of expletive that made them
all look, and they caught the end of it. The car ended up on its side and
Wollek climbed out of the door. I was very glad to see him get out on his
own...
