Yeah, I was on track... they red flagged the session and as soon as the cars on course were stopped they were out to the guy.

And since the track only has an old school wrecker instead of a flat-bed, I ended up driving my truck up to the top of the hill to pick up the car on my trailer so he didn't ruin the center diff towing it on 2 wheels. The poor car knocked the oil filter off on the rocks so there was a mess of oil under the car, plus the burned plastic bits, some scorching on the passenger door, smoke in the cabin, a blown tire, and the radiator support looks like there was a minor downward bend from the bumper's impact w/ the ground. Not a pretty sight, but I don't think the car's anywhere near totaled.
