As if they didn’t have enough problems already.
How on earth did they get all the way to a building??? That makes no sense. You’d have to have your throttle stick and not do anything about it or something totally insane like that. Someone will have to MS Paint me a picture.
He was 73 years old…maybe he had a heart attack or stroke and then went off course?

**Mississauga Man Killed In Race Track Accident**
```
Saturday July 19, 2008
CityNews.ca Staff
A Mississauga man died Saturday after a crash at a race track near Brantford.
```
OPP say 73-year-old Sidney Paine was driving his car around the track at the [Dunnville Autodrome](http://www.dunnvilleautodrome.com/) Saturday morning, when the 1991 Mazda Miata left the track and smashed into a building.
Bystanders performed CPR until emergency personnel arrived, but Paine was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post-mortem will be held Sunday as the OPP investigation continues. "

$100 says heart attack or stroke; car ran rudderless off track.

$50 says no. Unless it was a failure on their part, which I doubt.
I could see this giving the neighbors further excuse to fight though.

yikes… i cant see how you would hit a building unless you lost ALL brakes, but even then you can steer to avoid the building… sounds like he was dead/unconscious before hitting

I say it mainly because of stories I’ve heard from firefighters we used to live next door to.
Anecdote:Last year a woman in her 60s was driving down Niag Falls blvd in the residential section, had a stroke, lost control wheel / planted the throttle, veered across 3 lanes of 35mph traffic, pegged a 4’ wide tree @ ~70mph - that tree was ~30’ in front of a house on the blvd. We were 3 houses down the street at the time and we felt the hit shake the ground.

If the crash was bad enough to kill him I dont think you would be performing CPR right? He probably just had a stroke on the track.

At least he died on the track instead of taking out some innocent bystanders on a public road. But seriously, 73? Wtf?

WOW that is ridicules, must have been something pre crash related, no way do you go off course and hit a building fully conscious, its just too far and theres plenty of room to avoid it even if you did have a brake failure or something

but @ least that guy went out the way must of us would want to…
(not the car wreck, but heart attack while driving and only killing yourself) i guess

:tdown:
+1 on medical problem pre-crash. The buildings at Dunnville are a long long ways from the track and the only two places where you point toward them are relatively slow corners.

Surprised he didn’t take anyone out with him. That’s at least a good part.
