The Pros From Dover
Some of us had to deal with a CF that came to rest shiney side down at Pacific Raceway last weekend. The driver was trapped in a position that made it difficult to breath. Back when we were all 26, three of us would have been able to roll the car on its side with ease. Now that we are mostly in our 60's and 70's, it takes twice as many of us to do the same job. So after a few days of pondering better ways to help a driver in that situation, I got to thinking that we need to find an old chassis to practice on. Something we can roll over in various ways and with various tools to better prepare for ugly situations like we had at Pacific. Know anyone that has an old, worn out formula car chassis they would be willing to donate as such a training tool?
BTW, the driver at Pacific was ok, but he had to wait a long time before we could get him out. It felt even longer to those trying to hold the car up enough for him to breath while we waited for reinforcements.
