Default Yowza. CGT crash, 2 die.

LOS ANGELES -- Two people were killed Thursday in a crash at California Speedway in Fontana.

Images: Speedway Crash

A private car club was renting the speedway at the time of the crash.

A Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a retaining wall and came to rest on the track's infield. Authorities said two people were in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene.

The second person in the car was transported by Mercy Air to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. That person later died.

The track is home to the California 500, Nextel Cup 500, the Toyota Indy 400 and other motorsport events. The 2-mile D-shaped oval surrounds an infield portion used for road courses and a 13-turn interior test circuit.

Private parties can rent the track to turn laps.

this is very sad, we all race. its our passion and our drug. this could of easily been any one of us after reading more about it was a terrible loss to what seems to be a great competitor. ive personally lost a few friends to crashes during races but look at it this way he died doing something he loved. my best wishes go out to his family and friends.

I dont know if you can rent a car, and then take it to a racetrack... especially not a half a million dollar porsche. I think it may have been a dealership's event or something...

and one died on scene, the other at hospital. read about what caused it? uber gay
