"Crash Video's"

[RSTPerformance]

What does everyone (but probably not those that read these forums) want to see??? Yes close racing, but mostly crashes... I figured we could have a thread with links to video's showing some "incidents." A short description of the incident would be cool with the link so we know what we are about to view!!! Heck maybe we will get a good list of incidents and maybe it will draw people to the site and actually recruite a few "outsiders."


I will start with just one I noticed tonight... This one is from Lime Rock Park, CT. I am not sure when or who it is, but they certainly show us how not to apply the brakes in a spin, and what the end result will/could be.

Assuming you mean real drivers and not crash dummies (I know, sometimes you can't tell the difference :)), right click on the last video on the page here (http://www.isaacdirect.com/html/OtherPages/Videos.html), titled BAM 2.

This is Rene Hines in T12 at the ARRC in 2005. The SM ahead of her checks up and dirfts wide. She does a good job of squeezing through and just about the time you think she's going to make it she gets punted into the wall.

There is a good slow motion segment followed by shameless capitalism.

Jeez...he was OFF the track it seems and then ROLLED backwards back on it! Not good.

I prefer the "failed crash attempts" like the 944 at Road America, that manages to hit NOTHING in one of the biggest spins I've seen in a long time. There was another floating around, of an SSC Civic carrying just a hint of tire-screaming oversteer through a long left-hander. I should just start ripping the good ones when I see them.

The 944 at Road America is a guy I know pretty well. On the last lap of qualifying he talked himself into taking the Kink flat out. I was not there but I guess he swore up and down he spun several times and was pretty pale after the incident. Unfortunately, his brand new in-car video did not work. I'd rather be lucky than good any day of the week!

The guy behind him caught it on video. I saw it on YouTube last week, but can't find it now.

Try as I might, I couldn't find anything to run into that day.

I bounced off the back wall at Waterford at about 70mph, and drove away - but caught it on video this time around:

Also another off - but just spun out from 1st, hit nothing...

He said that he knew I was there but he didn't think I would make the pass, and yes unfortunately the car was totaled.

Doggone, Russ!! I knew that you car had "gotten bent", but I didn't know where it'd happened at RA. I know that ITS #81 wasn't around long (I know who this is, but can't remember their name). What was their explanation?

LOL, yeah it was a pretty good hit. I'll keep the names out of it, but The red IT7 tried to pass the white ITS 7 (81) on the outside when i was on the inside. 81 moves outside to give me room, not realizing that the red it7 was trying to make a pass, makes contact with him, which spins 81 right in front of me with nowhere to go. Probably wouldn't have been an issue at all if it wasn't raining. That's racin...

[NutDriverRighty]

I'll leave the names out as well, but I see the driver of the red #7 on a pretty regular basis. I'll let him know about this video so he can see. I, too, run IT7 on occasion. Hope that I can avoid being involved in something similar.
