    Anybody have any info on a crashed Blue 02 Lotus Esprit in Colorado or there abouts? I'm told it was spun on a track?

    Not so much spun out as understeered through a hair pin turn at the end of a straight, went over a tire wall and landed on a fence post. Driver unhurt. Pix of the incident appeared in a national magazine not too long ago (can't remember the title of the magazine).

    I think it was called Woody Creek something-or-other.

    That's near Aspen. There was a national Lotus get together there in August. Is that when it happened?
