I think that was during an HPDE and it is normal to give a wave to another driver that gave you a passing signal. I am sure he was too busy watching the track and the other cars to notice the deer until it was too late to do much about it.

This. Hyperfest is great. HPDEs and all sorts of Spec racing all day long. And drifting and karts and 24h of lemons... Had a blast. Won a trophy.

Wow, remind me not to go to that track. I know what hitting one is like at normal highway speeds, can't imagine hiring one while racing. That had to hurt. And the guy on the bike, Damn!

Its SUmmit Point raceway in West Vargina.
They need fencing or hunters or something... Scares the HELL out of me. Back straight is fast(forget the kinda speeds you hit but WELL over 100)

If that's anything like the track days that they run here in Texas, you aren't supposed to stop and check on riders. They warn you prior to going out. They have trained officials that stop and help the fallen rider. I sure miss TWS and MSR!
