jann was
racing today
and he
kept scraping the rail
in the
same spot of the same turn
on every
lap
the metal
on metal sent a tail
of sparks
wagging wildly
into the
air where it
dissipated
into the screaming crowd
they kept
expecting him
to take
the turn a little earlier
or at a
slightly slower speed,
but he
never did
he must have been fine with it
I received this on May 20 but do not know when it was written. It may be a pointed bit of journalism, or it may have been prophetic. But almost two months earlier, during the VLN Endurance Championship at Nurburgring Nordschleife. Jann Mardenborough flipped upright, went airborne for some 30 meters, hit a safety barrier, flipped over the four-meter debris fence, and landed on its roof amid spectators. One fan was was killed and others injured in the crash.
ReplyDeleteThe bane of all hare-brained writers. Mistakes happen, especially in the rewriting process. And studies show that they occur much more frequently on a wordprocessor than on a printed page. For some reason our little pea brains aren't as adept at policing computer typo idiocy as print stupidity. In any case, clearly Jann Mardenborough did not do any of the alleged activities, his car did!
