Very sorry to hear this. Many of us have participated in spirited group drives. Many more of us will again in the future. It's part of who we are. This is a lesson learned, once again, by those left behind. We live life by a thread. It is often a very fine line and you often don't realize you are crossing it (especially in this car) until it's too late. Continue the passion, including the spirited drives; but, keep Vince (and your loved ones) in mind on future drives.
RIP Vince. Just a reminder to all of us to count your blessings and enjoy everyday we spend on this earth. My prayers for him and his family. God speed.
According to those of the USC auto club who were there with him at the time of the accident; they're saying it was a mechanical failure around the turn; as all were driving at safe speeds and smoke appeared mid turn leading to under steer ; and left the car unable to steer.

As I was reading again, his thread on the suspension and interior. The thought that something mechanical happened crossed my mind. Whether, workmanship, part failure (due to age of the car or defect) any number of things could have happened. Along with driving within your skill set, inspection of your car on a regular basis is prudent.
He did say he had his car aligned, so I assume a 2nd set of eyes saw his work. He had noted he hadn't worked on cars before.
