Wow, a few weeks ago I was running at Douglas in a diesel race, in a 2WD diesel pickup (basically a Top Sportsman chassis with a sequential-turbo diesel engine). On my last pass (ran a low 9-something at 147), two antelope jumped onto the track in the top end. I was able to dodge them, but I had visions of antlers coming through the lexan windshield. I'll bet that guy hit one of my antelope friends.
