FYI - this pic was posted to the thread on Nextdoor. Still no clue who was owner/driver - regardless, it does not look good...

There is one thing cleared up, when I asked the Police records lady about an accident on ElCamino Real + Bevme. Looks like the Plaza name is Bevmo, not a cross street named Bevme. Yes Bill, the roll bar folding forward how unusual, you would think it would have folded backwards. Forward momentum?

This was also posted on nextdoor. My understanding is that the Cobra hit this car leaving Bevmo after it sheered the hydrant.

That fire plug obviously jumped out of the ground and assaulted the SUV. The Cobra is gong to need to be extensively detailed before it goes out again.

At least this gentleman left this world doing something that brought him great pleasure. I can think of worse ways to go. (Lying in a nursing home bed) Years ago we loss a fellow FF racer, he was kinda the leader of us FF guys (He had a fast Ford) First lap @ Westwood (Canadian track) he was leading the pack down the back straightaway in the rain, and as we came to 'Deers Leap' there was a deer in middle of the track, by the time his Formula Ford rolled to a stop, we had lost Steve. At the services Steve's wife told us don't feel bad for Steve, he was doing something he loved. That stuck with us to this day. Every time we got in our Fords after that Steve rode with us. Cheers Gentlemen

I managed to scratch up some "unscratchable" flooring by pushing one of my kids around in a Big Wheel and sliding it sideways at a high rate of speed.:cool:

Perry, I keep forgetting other people here, know 'Mountainhigh racing' I loved Westwood, my first SCCA senior race (Licensing) I felt like a Pro ;) No more yellow tape on my roll bar :) I remember mid-60's a V-8 Elva or Genie V-8 going upside down at deer's leap. I took my 'New' Girlfriend to watch me race my FF there, I got her out on track (Turn worker) coming out of the hairpin and up the hill, and would go down and flag with her, at the edge of the track between my races :) WELL my buddy (Brad) thought it would be fun, to toss his RX-3 (IMSA car) sideways coming out of the hairpin, so he was pointed right at us ;) Since I was looking up the hill and her down the hill, she would grab me to pull me out of harm's way, I finally told Brad to knock it off my right arm had bruises :) Good Times!!!! Cheers Tom.

Well, Tom...
my understanding, from talking to his son Jamie, is that he went airborne over the leap, lost control, went end-over-end, and balled it up pretty good. He broke is collar bone and got bruised up, but was alright, otherwise. I actually have a couple of pieces of that car... of course, it is not as much as Bill has of it!
