Scheckter crashed in front of her - she's in 8th...
Nice pic. How do you get that screen capture ? and how do you get it onto this thread so quickly. I need to learn picture how-to's.
The cow was awesome... the ribs are going to be better. Last time I looked out, it had quit snowing.
Pitsstops for all.
ribs yesterday, got leftovers, brisket on the grill now.
beer cold, low 70s today if we're lucky.
Lap71..still yellow.
WOW! The the rear wing flew into the crowd!
Fan hit, not seriously hurt. Walked out under his own power.
No report on the radio...what's the deal? Anyone hurt?
they are escorting the guy in the crowd who got hit by the day-bree to the medical facility as a safeguard, he is laughing and walking in his own .
He'll be on Oprah and Good Morning America tomorrow morning, I bet.
Great News for the George family the fan isnt looking for a payday...
They had a replay of it flying up over the track fence, didn't show the impact in the crowd though...
She came out of the pits in 6th. Apparently she was going to be Weldon's next lapped victim - right before the yellow. That's one fast dood...
Walked out to where? They let him leave without checking him? Can anyone say lawsuit?

Whoa, that's warm. |
Will be interesting to see if the car can hold up for the whole race.
Yet.... Wait 'till a lawyer shows up.
anyone remember about 10-15 years ago when the guy in the last row of one of the grandstands got hit in the head with a tire then died? The NY Daily News had a very grainy picture of the point of impact the next day...
scheckter has a minor knee injury. other than that, he is OK.
