wow, just wow. RIP.

Summit point is probably the weirdest track I have seen. So many crashes, just insane. Time Attack is not running it anymore for that reason too

Best wishes to his friends and family.

Was just there Friday for what I thought was a glorious day at the track - What a tragedy

Terrible news... So sad

Why do they have bare concrete walls anywhere is what I want to know? A simple tire barrier may have saved his life, would that be too much to ask for?

The concrete wall is very far away at T1 at Summit. It would have had to be a fantastic crash to have hit it. Either his brakes failed and he sailed down the access road or somehow he flipped through the pebbles and made it all the way out to the wall. I've been in those pebbles before. Not even my AWD can get out.
