That's terrifying.A few years ago I was doing an open lapping day at Pueblo Motorsports Park with a friend. I should have known something was amiss when I asked which flag stations were manned prior to my first session and the track facilitator said only two. We were in the middle of a high-speed turn under full load (turn 6a/6b for those in the know) when we saw a car on the track in front of us coming in the opposite direction. Fortunately, we were able to avoid a head-on collision at high speed, but apparently the kid manning the flag station at the track entrance (which crosses the track surface) decided to use the bathroom during a hot lapping session. The car drove in off the street onto the track surface in the wrong direction. What is worse, there is a gate to block cars from entering the track, but he didn't close it when he left the flag station. Fortunately, PMP is under new ownership/management.
If the car had made it closer to 5 and you popped up at the same time over the hill it would have been ugly.
