how freaking outraged would you be if you were at a race track (probably not covered by your insurance company) and some construction equipment the track owns was driven into your race car? (At about 20-30 mph)


a worker driving a telehandler crashed into two Nissan Skyline GT-Rs, an R32 and a R34, while they were stopped on the track’s front straight.

ON THE TRACK! Not hiding! Not on a corner! 



A media and public relations representative with Laguna Seca responded to our request for comment with the following statement: “An incident involving a track support vehicle and a racecar occurred at the facility during a privately operated on-track event earlier this month. The track continues to work through the process with diligence and timeliness.”

The lawsuit alleges that “the telehandler operator proceeded without maintaining a safe and clear line of sight ahead and without taking adequate measures to ensure the path of travel was clear,” and that he “failed to perceive both of Plaintiffs’ stopped vehicles in front of him in sufficient time to avoid a collision.” It asserts that the machine was operated in a “grossly negligent manner,” and that precautions of “appropriate communications,” as well as spotters and guidance, were not employed.
