top_shelf_12 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Guess they felt the guardrail was enough, unfortunately it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelracewriter Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Mike, that track has been like that for years and years.....The trees were my first concern the first time I went there back in the mid 90's....It's part of the ambiance of that place...

Josh42 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have raced at Little River all year and have been going there since i was a kid. Those trees have been there since before the track opened and was just the old highway. Never once have i had any concern about those trees. Whats the difference from driving down your local street or highway with the trees right there. This was a perfect storm of an accident and was a real bad deal. I pray for his family and friends during this tough time. This only the 2nd fatality at the facility in 56 years. Hundreds of thousands of passes have been made down this track and this is the first time ive heard of a tree being struck. This was just a freak accident that happened.
