Big crash during T1 Runoffs start

[boywonder]

Yes, I realize this is an IT site but our friend Aaron Quinne, Kumho Tire guy at most of our area regionals, got caught up in the big crash during the T1 race this morning. He was out of the car and talking to the safety personnel but then they put him on a stretcher. Hopefully it's just a precaution but either way I'm sure he could use your prayers and thoughts. You couldn't find a nicer guy at the track and we're just hoping he's in better shape than his car.

Spoke with Greg this morning and Aaron is fine. Sounds like the car is totaled.

Glad to hear he's ok. Totally bummed to hear his Vette is dead.

The story on the T1 race is noticably absent from the SCCA site...

Glad the drivers are OK

From what I heard Heinricy missed a shift and that is what caused the whole pile up.

No, his trans broke on the first shift on the start.

and the Viper next to him spun the tires big time so he did not go either.

Poor Aaron was a sitting duck.
