    Default Another driver suffers a heart attack!

    Here's a link to MCSCC web site with a report on what happened at BFR this past Saturday Oct 29th.


    Driver is a friend of mine, I've known him for at least 15 years. He has built a number of race cars over the years for himself and others. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I hope he pulls through and gets back to being himself ASAP!

    One of our crew said she saw the car roll slowly to a stop. Workers pulled the driver out and were performing CPR when she left.
    Lots of worse ways to go......
