As you may have heard by now, there was an incident during our Driver’s Ed event Saturday at Carolina Motorsports Park that resulted in a fatality. The vehicle in which Tom Norby was instructing went off track and impacted a tree. Fire/Rescue and EMT responded immediately, however Tom died of his injuries at the scene.

Tom was a Carolinas Region PCA member and served as a Driver's Ed Instructor, having completed the PCA National Driver's Education Instructor training. He was 58.

This is a difficult time for everyone, especially Tom’s family. Please keep Tom's wife Paula and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Still don't understand what trees are doing ANYWHERE near OR FAR from the racing surface. I've taken T8/T9 hundreds of times and never noticed trees...just grass and sandy runoff, so the trees must have been a 50-100 yards away or more??
I have vids of similar incidents but they weren't traveling nearly as fast as a 930 is capable of so they didn't make it into the trees.
