I didn't know any of the families involved but they have my deepest sympathy. I have seen to many of these things in my life and it never gets easier.

Jeff, I have been with police investigators at accident scenes and sometimes the high rate of speed is based on more than just miles per hour. I have seen a high rate of speed tag on accidents where the actual speed was around 45 miles an hour and the speed limit was 60. I agree with you that the fact the car was a Cobra probably had some influence and also the fact that there were signs that the wheels had gone off the pavement. But as most know, it doesn't take a lot of speed and power to get sideways on a crooked road when coming back onto the pavement after having a couple of wheels in the gravel and especially entering a curve. Not trying to start any argument or disagree with you at all. I just hope that we can all learn by this tragedy and as I said above, I couldn't feel worse for the families involved if they were friends of mine. Also unfortunately the high rate of speed is kind of like piolet error in plane crashes. When they have no skid marks or anythig to go on that can become a kind of catch all. I just hope we don't have to read of any more of these tragedies.
