Billionaire dies in car crash at Aspen Motorsports Park

[1971Camaro]

I find it interesting that they are not mentioning the type of car he was driving...am wondering if it was a Porsche since they are really sensitive to this...

Yes, it would seem... but lots of average, not-so-billionaire people take a lap or more on tracks. It sounds as if there was no helmet, but many people track their cars without helmets. We don't know how experienced he was.

Calling it now. It was a Porsche Carrera GT.

Wealth sadly does not equal skill or safety. The details should be furnished - if only to help avoid future fails.

“The day of the crash, Crown was driving a Spec Racer with Toyota MR-2 engine rated at 165 horsepower, according to Matthew Kennedy, a racetrack employee and driving instructor interviewed by investigators. He told sheriff’s investigators that Crown, who had driven at the track before, was by himself and racing against the clock when the crash occurred.”

"James Crown, one of the wealthiest men in Chicago, is aiming to use his national clout in business to try to fight crime in the city."

I'm not saying the guy faked his own death so he can come back to rid his city of crime....... but it's not a story that I haven't seen.

As long as Morgan Freeman co-stars, I'm good with it.

Just found this:

Never been to Chicago personally. It's called "The Windy City", and I f*&ken hate wind.
