Yep, My TR250 dumped it's load on the track at Mid-Ohio several years ago
during the parade laps at lunch time. I felt real bad about it and quite
embarrassed. I hate it when that happens. There was a wipe out on the TRF
drag
strip a few years back when a really nice TVR did a 360 into the guard rail
after
a Six had gone down before him leaking coolant. Nasty Stuff for Racers.
