Re: Open Wheel Racing 2018- with less winglets.
I was there. Dave Weitzenhof at Watkins Glen. It was not the bridge abutment (there are no bridge abutments at this track; they are all behind the guardrail). It was the pit entrance wall. Still a very bad spot to hit.
I was watching from the Inner Loop, so I didn't know what happened until I got back to the paddock area. I heard he was knocked out in the process, didn't know of any other injuries until now. The front end of the car was completely gone. It was one of his tried and true 1994 Citations, a 95SFZ.
And he's no spring chicken -- 72 years old and can still run with the best of them, young or old. This is his 50th year of racing!
