Deer at Summit Point

I guess I'll be having nightmares about this the next three weeks. I'll be there 7/7-8.

Gary man that's so common there. I know you've seen cars get hit while we've been there. This one vid has been blowing up on the nets for some reason. In the last 6 visits there 3 people have hit deer.

so far I have avoided flattening a ground hog and a family of wild turkeys at this track. it's pretty wild out there. this poor guy hit the dear at the worst possible place. max v spot. he was so lucky the dear didn't come through the windshield.

On June 5th I was racing in a vintage car race at Laguna Seca and as I passed the checkered flag a squirrel made his (or her) final dash (halfway) across the track. I did not see if they sent a crew out to scrape the remains off the track though I am guessing they did. I was nervous the rest of the event that I was destined for some bad karma. GJ

Gary Man I'm glad u were ok. Sorry about the car. How bad did it end up. I volunteered there once at start finish and it was my job to look out. Worse was it was a night 4 hour enduro. 1 of my calls to race control saved a few cars and the deer.
Geez man that looked bad. Really feel for u.

Oh shoot. I just notices the OP. never paid attention to the dash. None the less to the vett driver. Same regards. DAMN. I've watched that like 20 times. It sucked evey time.

Oops, sorry I gave you the wrong impression. That wasn't me in the Vette. I just saw this vid on another forum and posted it here. I said it will give me nightmares because I'm always worried about deer on the track at Summit Point and I have an event there in two weeks.
