A volunteer in a yellow shirt shepherds him back off the track. I was the guy in the yellow shirt.

I just wish that my battery held more charge when our cart (Polycom) crashed in test runs. Unfortunately we were not able to get it into race shape in time for the Derby so we had to withdraw.
One major difference with our cart is that it did NOT lose any wheels in the accident. No, indeed the wheels stayed firmly attached and thus were horribly bent. It probably also helped our cart to acquire as much altitude as it did during the roll over wherein at one point the drivers head was three feet above the road as he hurtled at speed sideways dangling from an upside-down racing machine.
He popped his shoulder and lost a finger nail in that – but all we have of the thrilling spectacle are rather alarming memories.
