That wasn't even at the dragon. This was a mile from the campsite that most stayed at (Fontana Dam though TICC didn't camp but we did hang out with them each night). They were following a Miata who tried to drift (on bald cold tires) and lost it. The red lude was behind and panicked slamming on his brakes (he only had the car for a few weeks too so he didn't really know the car that well). The green lude was apparently following too closely (like 3 car lengths is what I heard) and tried to avoid him. At first, the red lude was to the left so the guy in the green one tried to go to it's right to avoid but as the accident was unfolding, the red lude started going back to the right and the green one T-boned him. Then after t-boning him, he went up against the rock wall there. His rear pass side tire caught a rock or something and sent the lude into a barrel roll (side to side) 1.5 times landing on it's roof.
Of course the Miata was unharmed but it's really not their fault. The green lude will most likely be at fault for following too closely. Kind of messed up the weekend as about half packed up that day and went home (Sat mid day of the 3 day event). TICC was already at the dragon wondering where everyone was and come to find out this is why no one really showed up.
TICC had a blast though...check out the pics...
