Excuse me for not posting the video for obvious reason, trust me, its ugly. The owners are trying to get pics and video off other message board. I feel their lost and I'm sure this is not a very good time to post videos or pictures up.

WTF? everytime I have been to a track day, the organizers grid the car behind the pit wall not somewhere where parked cars could be hit like this.
That said, the EVO driver should not have been let back on the track without an instructor in the passenger seat

I really want to know why there wasn't a jersey barrier for the grid. That just seems unsafe, period.

so wait why can you guys not post the video????? So the owners of the cars that got wrecked can claim it happened on the road, not the track, and jack up insurance prices more, because there insurance companies cannot do digging and find that a dummy in an MR decided to plow into them?

I agree the other cars were way too close to the track. If you cut a tire down you could swerve into the other cars lined up. That sux for all the drivers but I think the track organizers messed up on this one.
