In '99 my car got into a little ATF that the car before me had sprayed about 100' out on his pass. I was in the right lane and the fluid was sprayed in the left groove of that lane. My car made a sharp left in front of the car in the left lane and I was broad-sided by that car and I ended up over the wall in the grass on my roof. Both cars were severely damaged. I did rebuild mine but got no help paying for the damage and I didn't offer to help the other guy with his. That's the risk you take in racing. It really wasn't anyone's fault although some would blame the track. There was no sign of any trouble before I hit the slick spot and I watched the guy that leaked the fluid make his pass. The guy that had left the ATF did apologize and really felt bad about it but there was never any offer to help pay for any of the damage.
