    IT’S NOT THE ROADS!!!! It’s the drivers. Praying for this person and her family and friends that they will recover.

    One of the most dangerous open circuit road courses in the south east.

    Glad driver ok. Been several weeks from last roll-over. That Chevy might get back on the road but will roll along a little sideways like an old dog !

    Heard the emergency vehicles fly down Hwy 4 around 2:23pm was wondering what had happened to have them going so fast, prayers to those involved.
