Another MINI Club CRASH in So. California

This is on the negitive side,But I think something should be said.
This past Sunday a crash happened in the Sana Monica Mountain that didn't have to happen. I'm not going to go in to details,and luckily no one was hurt.
I own 2 MINIs and I've crashed in both of them.You might say"This guy must be a real dork!". But One crash was into a side of a mountain going 30 MPH after a rain hitting an oil slick.The other one happen as I was going an easy 50 MPH on a straight being a sweeper on run to Big Bear. An old lady was head the opposite direction,bounced off a guard rail and coreened into my right of way..I clipped her right rear quarter panal. She was driving an 80 's something New Yorker. My MINI had $23000 Damage. Sux!!
Anyway my point is anything can happen,So Be SAFE,NOT SORRY!!
I just wonder How many other Clubs have had crashes and how they try to prevent them from happening ?
I know that this is not a happy topic,but it is reality.
I have lost my fun factor for twisty run and choose not to do them anymore. Sux..
