    Default Excellent job by a corner worker!

    ITS Acura Integra in our run group roll over crash this past weekend at Motorsports Park Hastings. Camera kept recording. Corner worker stayed absolutely calm and got the driver out safely.
    Car is totalled. Driver is sore.

    our corner workers ROCK!! He only seemed to get a bit flustered when control didn't answer him back!
    The driver is lucky he didn't loose both thumbs!! LET GO OF THE WHEEL!!!
    Pretty wild how the camera "righted" itself during the wreck.

    I recognize the cornerworker who came to your aid - I cannot remember his name, but I worked with him several times during the years the Runoffs were at MidOhio. Great guy, lots of experience.

    Luckily it wasn't me, but the corner worker was Dick Struve.
