Theirs already a thread about it in the racing forum. Not video has been posted yet though.

Since the crash occurred after the event was over, there might only be the in-car video, if that ever gets released.

thanks. i will look in the racing forum. you guys can find anything if it is out there. didn't realize it was after the event. figured all those fast cars were always filmed.

The video will be released. I "know" one of the videographers that officially covered the event. I'll post it when he releases it.

Saw it happen.

They were at 498 runs for the day and they told his crew to bring the camaro and vette so they could close the day with 500 runs. His crew raced off and came hauling ass back with the car 15mins later....very rushed.

Fucked up part is I was at the staging lanes 2 mins after they closed it. If I got there 2 mins earlier they might have only let the vette go since that would have been 499 runs.

I saw parts of the car flying 50 foot in the air at the 3/4 mile mark. Then it burst into flames. When I saw care flight land I thought he had very serious injuries.

That's wild. Were you there as a spectator or participant?

I was racing. Here's a video of a 162 pass. My best of the weekend was 168.

Your car sounds good!

[Clifton]

You guys really need to start racing with your visors down. They are there for a reason.

[D3R3K]

I agree if you're not wearing shatter proof eye protection. All types of events including this one allow open face helmets.

Does sound good.


Is that a go pro you are using? Where is it mounted ?

[D3R3K]

Its a contour roam. I have a suction cup mount hanging from the sun roof.
