[Jim Maxwell]

My sincere apologies to the families of Steve Niebauer and his friend and to the members of ClubCobra for my incorrect and insensitive posting. My information was based on reports from EMS personnel and police present at the crash site, relayed to my partner, who spent much of the night taking care of the survivors of this tragic accident. The assumption of speeding was made by their observations of the apparent force of impact.
Obviously, in hindsight, I should never have said a word until the facts are available. Talk about foolish decisions!
My motive was to remind us all to be careful in our extremely powerful cars to prevent similar tragedies. How many times have you "almost lost it" while showing a friend the performance of your Cobra? (Not to imply that was the case in this accident, since I have no way of knowing what actually happened).
I deal almost nightly with these tragic, senseless accidents that take the lives of both those that made a mistake(even if unavoidable) and the innocent victims coming the other way. I was aware this was probably someone I knew, making it even more frustrating and sad for me.
My heart does go out to the families of all involved.
