Yeah the duder is OK, banged that tree @ 80mph and only ended up with a torn calf muscle.

I'll try and dig around for some pics of it before the "incident."

As far as i've been told, he was not really ripping on it; but, from previous experience Ryan never was an exceptional driver.

Car ran a 11.4 last I heard, not too bad for a land yatch.

so what was the cause of the accident according to your friend?

As the story goes, everyone was fighting traction issues throughout the morning. Dude got a run in A.O.K. and went back for a second attack. Came into that section and everything got squirrelly; couldn't correct fully from the size of the road and impeding "driver challenges."

I'm not entirely sure what possessed them to have a hill climb in Vermont at the end of october. I think ambient temps were mid 50s so you know the road surface was shit.

Personally i think the car was jinxed from the get go. All this after another track incident a month earlier when his rotor failed.
