    Bull Run R8 Accident?

    My local news is reporting an accident nearby, and the driver was involved in the BullRun Rally. It looks like a R8 Spyder to me, but can't tell for sure. Another news outlet is reporting it was a Maserati. Luckily there were no injuries reported. Here is the article from this morning with a picture:

    I was worried the kid might run over his dad. I almost ran over my dad, I was near that age. Dad push started me in the race buggy. I accidently floored it, did a donut and my dad had to jump out of the way. I don't remember who was MORE scared...me or dad.

    yeah, that was the only real danger there - even if he did squish dad there'd be zero need for a belt. daddy ain't no wall.

    "Stabbin' Wagon," really? Shouldn't there be some form psychological evaluation before they let these guys buy nice fast cars?

    Those actions make it bad for everyone. Last fun run I was on was horrible with all the local LE monitoring us. For some reason when a group of sports cars get together to go lunch or take a ride in the country LE assumes there is something going on. These Bull Run events just give us a bad reputation.

    they worry the kid could have got thrown out of the car and then got squished by the car while it was still spinning from the momentum, essentially running over himself.
