One down, but three still on the go

We had our practice race day today (Sunday). Three races to determine how well driver and co-pilots in each of our four car team communicate together.
The weather was iffy with cloud, mist and a few downpours. The first race in Flatrock went off without a hitch. Then off to Torbay for two more races.

Three of our teams did very well scoring zero penalty points. However, John Sr and Justin Crant, car #1888, did it fair too well.
In their First run through Torbay coming out of a hair pin turn only 50 meters from the finish line, car#1888, fishtailed after hitting a wet spot, then careened sideways after sliding through a second wet spot.

At that point no one was driving the car, as it was in full control of it’s own terminal destiny. Sliding off the left side of the road and smashing sideways into a tree. Then it kept going smashing through a 6 ft. high fence. Nobody was hurt. Although the passenger side airbags deployed as the passenger window blew out against the tree.

The car is terminally damaged and will not make the trip back home as it is. The tree is unharmed, just a bit shaken. But the fence needs replacing. Meantime John Sr and Justin Crant will, as of Monday be assisting as crew for the other three remaining team cars and staff.

All for now.
Bruised but not out by any means,
Team Hume.
