I just saw this series of photos. Wow!

This is the accident a few years back where the SUMURUN ran over AMORITA in Newport. It's outrageous to watch. It seems very risky that the SUMURUN would come through the mark like that, regardless of the racing rules. After all, it's just a race, not a duel. I have to think it was mostly just poor judgement, poor visibilty, bad day,...etc....

There's also some video but that's not as shocking as the photos.
