    From all I spoke to after the fact, he never saw it coming! Launched the spec pinata about 50 ft in the air. He was completely caved in when the EMT's got there.

    Any news on his condition, now?

    Looks like from one of the videos that Ken missed the yellow flag from 5 that was clearly displayed!

    Watching videos from our computers, replaying them and freeze framing them over and over armchair quarterback style isn't the same as being there. It's an odd angle to the flag, and there was a lot of traffic. And there was some slow moving car off to the right just before the right. Heck, the car in front of Ken JUST missed the Lotus. Looks like they all weren't as aware as they'd have liked to be.

    Hey, it happens. If it happens to Ken, it can happen to any of us punks.

    He was staying on line at that point. Unfortunately his view was obstructed by the car in front of him, which at the last second pulled to the left. I'm sure he saw the yellow. Same thing any of use would have done in that situation.



    What kind of car was the second video from Stephen?

    Jeff, you're clue is the 350 in the movie banner. It's a Nissan 350Z.

    Here is the video from one of the cars following the lotus that shows the Lotus spin. Looks like it was sitting in that spot for what to him probably seems like a long time. Must have been very scary from his point of view facing up track :eek:

    Another video of a car that shows why all those cars where going to slow...

    Glad to hear everyone is doing well
