The Reports coming in say they had just left the event soon to return ,event patrons even heard the crash which was some 200 yrds away ,the driver was still going through the gears at this point ,may have been a missed gear , Uneven street surface ,who knows.Somekind of state report will be coming out soon enough..
On another note to the James Dean crash ,a recreation of the accident was done digitally to view how the accident happened ,from both drivers view and from several different angles ,of coarse in his case he had the wheel giving him a chance to escape certain death in that LIL BASTARD.
