Death at chuckwalla
 
This was in the local paper. http://www.mydesert.com/apps/pbcs.dl...nclick_check=1

Looks wide open, must have hit the only barrier in the place.

Not knowing the full story, but make sure you drive within your own and the cars limitis.

Sad to read this.

Sucks because i'll be going there next weekend, they were young kids, I think around 21ish...

Yeah I read the article... young asian girl was riding in the passenger side of her boyfriend's car at the track.

I don't think I'll let my significant other ride along with me at the track ever again x_x

Her memorial video on youtube:

RIP to her, but don't think that's her youtube channel. She's still active and commenting on other videos as her activities shows.

Nonetheless, terrible and sad news.

Damn, that's aweful. It doesn't seem like there's anything to hit based on that aerial shot. Looks like all open desert except for pit lane.

You may be right... I'll just edit the post and replace it with her memorial video.

Please pray for our friends Duc Lam & Chelsea Vu. Duc was airlifted to the nearest hospital while Chelsea was announced deceased at the scene. This just happened on 4/21/13 @ Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. Very sad and depressing but hopefully our prayers will get Duc to a speedy recovery and Chelsea is in her rightful place.
oh hayyy

Is that why it's not recommended to have a Harness like that without a HANS device??

A fundraiser has been setup for both their families to be split up between them: mailto: Fundraising For The Families Of Chelsea Vu And Jayden Lam | Medical Expenses - YouCaring.com
