Mark Lovell and Roger Freeman

Does anyone know any specifics of why they crashed??? I heard it wasn't a mechanical problem, but i would really like to know, because i was one of three people on the E-crew for that first stage. Thanks

I would like to know that as well, the cars have black boxes and the scene was investigated. These guys were heros of mine I would like to know just what went wrong.

possibility i heard, was the pace note was off, and they were not quite prepared for the corner.

I don't think we will ever know and it was a fluke accident. Hit the car in the wrong place...a little forward or a little back wouldn't have been as bad.

The SCCA pace notes are written by SCCA, not the codrivers. This could definitely create a problem when you're running a 400hp car in the rain and all you have is someone else's notes on the stage.

i agree, that thought alone scares me a little bit...
any ideas why scca doesn't allow a recce and co drivers to make notes?

i don't know, but imo it detracts. if the codriver and driver can work together and make themselves go faster by making their own notes wouldn't it be better? by trying to level the field it detracts from the competition that makes a working driver/codriver team vital....
