Saratoga starting car crashes
« on: October 29, 2025, 05:56:26 PM »
Saw pictures on FB of the starting car after it crashed through the fence after the beginning of the last race. Apparently no one was hurt but the car might be totaled. I wonder how that could happen?

Throttle stuck or malfunctioned,or brake failure. ( The Starter operates the Throttle from when he opens the wings until they begin to close,at that point the driver regains control so the Patrol Judge is in position to see the field) We will be lucky to hear officially no more than "Mechanical Failure " as the cause.

There were some posted by Jessica Hallett immediately following the crash but now people are complaining they’ve all been yanked. The main track is closed till further notice.

Someone on Facebook said medical problem. I have no way to verify it.

I remember when Percy Davis snapped a driving line and plowed through that fence. He never bailed. Percy was one tough SOB...
