FF incident at Blackhawk Farm last weekend

Unfortunately the odds are higher than you might think. I saw a turkey do that to an SM car, but luckily it was the RH side of the windsheild that got folded inside and most of the turkey hit where the passengers seat would be. I had it nearly happen to me on the street on a motorcycle too.

Always bad to hear of things like that happening to people.

Man, I hope he recovers. I caught a robin at 40 mph on the top of my helmet while on a motorcycle, and that was bad enough. I can't imagine a 25LB turkey square in the face at twice the speed.
Seems to me I heard about a deer jumping into the cockpit of an S2 one time, and a (very angry) snapping turtle getting flipped into the cockpit of another open wheel car. You just never know what's going to happen each and every time you turn a wheel.
I'll keep Ron in my thoughts and prayers.

Very sad. I nearly collected a canada goose at ORP last year in the fast sweeper leading to the hairpin. It scared the crap out of me as he just swooped down right in front of my windshield. I did not have time to react. I was luck.
