| a chat on Ferrari about the incident.
Carolina Motorsports Park, victim was the instructor, in the passenger seat, car apparently ran across spilled coolant and struck a tree.
Very sad, likely will confirm the decision by many (including me) not to instruct. Also interesting to see the reflexive and IMO silly decision to discourage/suppress discussion on the facts of the incident. There's a thread in the rennlist.com DE section, can't directly link to it apparently. PCA statement:
As you may have heard by now, there was an incident during our Driver’s Ed event yesterday at Carolina Motorsports Park that resulted in a fatality. The vehicle in which Tom Norby was instructing went off track and impacted a tree. Fire/Rescue and EMT responded immediately, however Tom died of his injuries at the scene.
Tom was a Carolinas Region PCA member and served as a Driver's Ed Instructor, having completed the PCA National Driver's Education Instructor training. He was 59. This is a difficult time for everyone, especially Tom’s family. Please keep Tom's wife Paula and his family in your thoughts and prayers. A visitation with the family will be held in Charlotte, NC at Harry and Bryant Co., 500 Providence Rd., on Wednesday, March 10, from 6 to 8 p.m. The memorial service will be held at Covenant Presbyterian Church, where he was a member, 1000 E. Morehead St., Charlotte, NC, on Thursday, March 11, at 4:30 p.m.
