Canadian Tire Motosrport Park is for the fast and fearless – however, the place can bite! Two prototypes will be absent from the grid after a pair of incidents yesterday.

Yesterday Boris Said hit the barriers in turn one aboard his Marsh Racing Daytona Prototype. Sadly for the popular 51-year-old California-based racer, the damage to both driver and car will force them out for the weekend.

The No.31 car suffered significant chassis damage in the incident and Said himself was released from a local hospital after being diagnosed with a broken rib.

The DeltaWing is also going to be “missing in action” this weekend after suffering a fire yesterday.

Andy Meyrick was behind the wheel of the DeltaWing coupe toward the end of the practice session, when a fuel line rupture triggered a fire that caused delamination too extensive to repair outside of the team’s shop in Braselton, Georgia.

“It’s disappointing, because we were so quick here,” said team manager Tim Keene. “But we’ve got a new chassis back at the shop so we’ll get back on track as quickly as possible.”
