    At this point I'm still a bit curious to find out what they were really asking and why. What happened to the poster? They asked a question and dissapeared? We won't bite!

    Depends. If a redneck builds a 12 X 30 wood deck on the side of his 1963 10 X 50 mobile home on 10 acres in the kuntry, and he builds it out of 4 X 6 planks over 6 X 12 beams placed 16 inches on center over 6 X 6 treated posts, how many dawgs will be killed when it collapses under the weight of all the broken appliances sitting on it?

    +1001 IT'S WINTER and I live in a igloo

    Speaking of igloos you can't believe how many people in Arizona think that we do. I have relatives there and as a joke when I visit we tell people at bars that we can't drive in winter we all use skidoos and the poor people use sled dogs and that I'm a salesman for real Saskatchewan seal skin not that fake stuff..........lol

    While it's lesser-known, the same exact thing happened the prior year with a Porsche 911 GT1 at Road Atlanta:

    While I believe what you said about the turbulence from the 'wake' of the vehicle ahead is accurate as a causal factor in the crash, I had understood it that changing road elevations was also a culprit - just like with Richard Losee's Enzo. My understanding was that despite the enormous downforce these cars generate, coming down a slight hill coupled with the air from the lead car caused the spectacular end-over-end crashes.
