FLCC> Tuesday night - Car incident on Snyder Hill

[Felix Naschold]

Tuesday night was my first time racing. Good fun and I will be back.

Some of you may have seen or heard about the rather unpleasant incident 
with a drunk driver as we were coming down Snyder Hill after the race. 
He overtook us (a group of four) only to cut in front of us and break 
very hard to make us hit him. Fortunately, we all narrowly managed to 
avoid him and noone was hurt. In today's Ithaca Journal I saw that he 
was charged with drunk driving and endangering cyclists. I am sorry that 
I couldn't stick around until the police showed up, but please let me 
know (Alex?) if there is anything I can do to support the upcoming court 
case against him.

Yesterday, I went up Snyder Hill again and saw the guy's car (light blue 
Ford Taurus DCH 7472) parked in front of the house at the highest point 
of Snyder Hill Rd - the house directly at the race's 'finish line' on 
the South side of the road. I thought I'd share this to be watchful up 
there. From his rants on the EH parking lot it was obvious that he 
wasn't only drunk but that he had pent up issues with cyclists.
