I don't know whether anybody has seen a link to/ or ideally pictures of the Accident which caused a yellow flag at Sebring this year. See below from tentenths...

Have you heard the one about the Sebring 12 Hour Corner Marshal who tried to retrieve equipment which fell into a tire stack, and ended up inverted...and well and truly 'stuck'?

Quick action on the part of his co worker (enabling him to breathe by holding the Trapee's legs upright) until a Rescue team arrived, made this merely an embarassing but amusing incident. It occurred just past the halfway point, and resulted in the longest safety car period (7 laps) of the race.

The take home lesson for the rest of us is this boys and girls: Do not, repeat DO NOT, attempt to retireve items from inside tire stacks while working alone...who knows just what lurks in there anyway?!


Amusing and extremely scary!!
