[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Star Wars creator George Lucas had a smashing time at the Toyota Pro-Celebrity Race in Long Beach, California on Saturday when he collided with CSI: Miami star Emily Procter.
Procter's car slammed into the front of Lucas' during the pre-Long Beach Grand Prix festivities, pinning the movie mogul against a wall.
Lucas was subdued after the race, telling reporters: "I should have just let her go by me."
X-Men 2 star Kelly Hu (as Deathstrike), who watched the crash from the car behind, said: "George passed me right before he crashed. It was a little hairy."// Visual basic helper required to detect Flash Player ActiveX control version informationFunction VBGetSwfVer(i)on error resume nextDim swControl, swVersionswVersion = 0set swControl = CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." + CStr(i))if (IsObject(swControl)) thenswVersion = swControl.GetVariable("$version")end ifVBGetSwfVer = swVersionEnd FunctionSub AT_FLASHO1081500_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)call AT_FLASHO1081500_DoFSCommand(command, args)end sub
Hu felt the celebrity race was a little too "aggressive", adding: "I got schooled."
Hu had crashed in a qualifying session.
Other celebrities involved in the race included US soap star Joshua Morrow and Martina Navratilova. BMX champion Dave Mirra won the race.
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner served as the celebrity challenge's Grand Marshall. </SPAN>
