Apparently safety is not a big issue for these events.

 

Welcome to Europe or Asia, where they don't have lawsuits over hot coffee or "i didn't know that it was bad to stand infront of a 1000 lb object doing 30 mph directly at me."

 

crazy stuff happens here too, kiko seibt destroyed his ESP STi last weekend in south florida at an autox

 

cause it was a scuby. made of cardboard. everyone knows that. just don't hit anything and your fine.

 

Eric, what happened to Kiko?

 

all i know is what a few people wrote over at nasioc.

kiko had just passed the finish timing lights, the car got away from him & it slid into a light pole. the car hit with the drivers rear door. he's fine from what i hear but if the car hit a little earlier the side airbags would have been given a workout.

just sucks cuz he's a good guy & now doesn't have a car.

again, this is all what i heard from people who were at the event as i wasn't.

 

i looked over at nasioc and didn't see the thread....care to link it?

 

it wasn't really a kiko killed his sti thread. i can't remember which one it was in. someone just mentioned it in a review of the autox that day.

use the search feature
