This was Sol's Factory Five, It was a beautiful car that he did an outstanding job of building. Her was a member of our San Diego Cobra Club.
This has all very upset as he was very responsible with his car. Ive never seen him be reckless on the the streets with his Cobra.
He was to retire next year.
R.I.P Sol, tell Carrol we all said hi
MAY THE ROAD GO ON FOREVER AND THE PARTY NEVER END!!!!!!

News reports he was traveling at a high rate of speed and lost control of the car hitting a curb and then a tree.
So sad but another reminder that these cars can get out of hand very easily.

That's one of the worst ones I've seen. So much for the dual roll bars helping out. Prayers to the family.

Never to forget our Cobras are extremely fast and must always be respected.
The families sadness must be great.

Yes, there is not much there to protect you. Things happen quickly with these cars, and the faster you are going, the faster bad things happen. The pictures remind me of a friends corvette. He was a few years older than me and was driving a 1974 vette at a high rate of speed. He hit the corner of an underpass and the car disintegrated similar to this one. There was a blue mark on the corner of the underpass and tire marks going down the walls and ceiling of the underpass. There was nothing left of the front of the car except for a twisted frame. The engine separated from the transmission and they both were in the tunnel. He somehow survived with numerous broken bones and a head injury. Was never the same after that.
Be careful. My condolences to the family.

My thoughts and prays go out to his Family & Friends. I spoke with one of our PNW member who knew this gentlemen though the FFR forum, said this was not like him, (very careful driver) but this car was pushing 750HP, so ????

I've done stupid things and been lucky. I've also just been unlucky.
But this is so tragic.

Condolences to the family...If there's anything positive here, it's that he was doing something he loved.

Hard to say right now the reason for the crash, some are stating high speed which is indicated by the impact and roadster being in pieces so that is logical. However the cause for high speed has not been confirmed, so it could be the right foot or it could be a stuck throttle, been known to happen and one has to react quickly. His roadster was a beauty and I have only seen it from afar and yes it supposedly had over 700hp which is too much IMHO for a car this size. One can get into trouble easily with 400 let alone 700. |
Yes, the high rate of speed may not hav been intentional. Have seen accidents at high rates of speed in which the driver passed out due to a medical event or over tired and the right foot goes to the floor. Then there is the stuck throttle that can happen as well. Always a good thing to have two return springs.
