Went to the track, someone gets killed!

Thought i would share my story, a couple weeks ago i was at the track, i had just ran down the strip, got my timeslip, and rolling down the side (behind the bleachers) heading towards the launch pad again. A guy on a motorcycle comes flying out of the parking areas where trailers, and racers are parked, and came very close to "t-bone" into my door, he locked up the brakes, and it threw him off! i immediately stopped, to see 3 guys helping him up, he was alright, and picked up his bike, which was at that time leaking oil from somewhere, and broke some fiberglass, a couple of the wittnesses said we were both going too fast, but i simpy told them i had the right away, since i was coming off the track, and most people agreed.

Plus, i was turning into the staging area, and my car doesnt turn at fast speeds, (no swaybar) so i was only rolling at a slow speed. I just left after the inccodent, and i was feeling really bad for the guy
