Default Accident at Freakmont

I know this has nothing really to do with us...but it is meet related...

Anyways, I attended the annual Freakmont Nissan Car Gathering @ Le Mans Karting today. And well...Story in link...

http://www.team-driven.net/freakmont/

Opps sorry, here you go. Taken from Team-Driven website.

Ok, I'm sure most of you are wanting to know by now, "What with that 240 in the tree".

I can be correct but from the stories put together here is a brief idea of what gone down.

There were a couple of 240sx's messing around, first a Red S14 went 'stupid' and drifted around a public street corner in front of the meet location. As some people were going to confront him about doing that, a blue S14, 240sx came around the corner trying to drift but ended up not and and completely understeering and loosing control.

Meanwhile there were about 7 people sitting and chilling on the lawn near the street. As the car, out of control , jumped the curb and headed straight for the group of bystanders. 6 of the 7 was able to get of the path of the car. However one wasn't quick enough as he was scooped onto the hood of the car. Then the car slammed into a tree, flinging the young guy into the tree hitting head and then falling to the ground.





I'm glad that I got out of there before all that happened...but the fact that someone is stupid enough to pull these kinds of stunts on public roads with innocent bystanders is appalling...This kind of crap jeopardizes future meets for everyone...

P.S. It was a really nice 240 also...driver was cocky though...

Sorry if this is random...I just thought I should let the community know about it...

Feel sorry for that dude and his car.
