This is everywhere on the net tonight, very sad, RIP Ben and Friend. 🙁

Update: Found this on Toadfly…

Ferrari Owners Club event.

No corner workers. [There might’ve been 2 of them for the entire track]

No flaggers.

Organizers–AMAZINGLY–changed pit out so it merget at the end of the main high-speed straight, instead of a long blend line that takes you all the way around to the turn into the infield.

Another car pulled out of pits, at much lower speed, in front of him. He swerved, and hit wall at 150 mph./blockquote>
