Re: 24 LeManns THIS WEEKEND!!
Very sad. The Corvette behind him caught it on his dash cam. Seems he may have caught a curb and over corrected going left. Terrible to see a young person like that go.

Re: 24 LeManns THIS WEEKEND!!
I had this all on DVR and did not read or hear anything till I saw it.
Sad indeed that with all the advances in safety there are still deaths. Disappointing for the Corvettes.

Re: 24 LeManns THIS WEEKEND!!
It's always tragic when these things happen. I've lost friends to racing incidents over the years, you have to feel for his family.

Re: 24 LeManns THIS WEEKEND!!
A terrible shame for Simonsen, family and AM team but a credit to them deciding to continue.
A big spread this month in Racer mag on the SRT Viper effort. The horsepower wars here have given us street cars that must be de-tuned to compete, from all our Big 3. SRT team lead was quoted they'd be "thrilled with a top 5". So it appears to me that Corvette teams and fans should consider being thrilled with their results - not ideal results but not shabby by any measure, props to them. To end a 24 within a few laps of 1st is an unbelievable success in my book! I have to give a shout-out to the Speed TV coverage this year, only a couple of breakouts and only a few woeful commentary problems, at least in what I was able to watch. Cheers, - Jeff
