Kim Crumb and David Muyres in the number 16 TNT King Snake viper were running 5th after Atlanta. While driving through Georgia on the way to the next event at Sebring, they hit another vehicle. I understand that they hit a truck that pulled out in front of them. Kim and David are reported to be OK, but the Viper is a write off. They are out.
Top Seeds After Atlanta
The top three seeds have all had a rough go of it.
The entries from Warren Mosler's Consulier Industries took top honors in 1996, 1997, and 1999 and were top seeded this year. A DNF at Gingerman #1, 19th at Michigan, 15th at Atlanta #1, 16th at Atlanta #2 have the # 1 Consulier GTP back in 38th overall.
The #2 Porsche of Catesby Jones and Peter Klein placed 16th at Gingerman #1 and DNF'ed the next three events. Are they down for the count?
The #3 Superformance Coupe broke a piston at Gingerman #1 and missed Michigan and Atlanta. Our boys were back in action at Sebring. For the full story on the #3 Superformance Coupe recovery, see the Gingerman #1 results.
The #5 Superformance Mk III of Doug Reed and David Sugg is moving up in the standings. David finished 26th at Gingerman #1 and 27th at Michigan after taking penalties for mauling course markers. At Atlanta David had two clean runs, finishing 11th and 8th.
