Just to set the record straight:

Mark Doherty was anything but your average driver. He raced professionally for several years until finances forced him to drop out. This was NOT a case of a "rookie" with more car than he could handle.

His Cobra had every "safety" device required and then some. It's long story but getting his Cobra street legal in Iowa required jumping through lots of hoops.

If there is a "fault" to be found, it was in making a poor choice of when to mash the peddle. Call it a moment of enthusiasm, call it a moment of fun winning over judgement, or do as we are doing and call it an accident...
