(September 11, 1999) -- Gonzalo Rodriguez, who was driving this
weekend for Marlboro Team Penske, was apparently killed in an accident
during practice for the Honda Grand Prix of Monterey at the Laguna
Seca Raceway. The 27-year old Formula 3000 veteran apparently failed,
or was unable, to brake at the entry to famed corkscrew turn. His car
flew over both the tire and the concrete wall then crashed through a
retaining fence landing upside down in a ravine.
