Exactly, for the other big wrecks that weekend the crews were there either before the car stoped moving, or right after. There is another video out where you can hear the annoucer telling everybody to leave the starting line area, including all the crew.
When I was in the tower at IFO you should hear the radio traffic for when the fast cars head down the track. They do not even let the cars in the water box before there is conformation that ALL the crews are ready and on standby.
Look at the ohio boys wreck up at MIR, before that car even came to a stop there was a track person there on a 4 wheeler.
I really wish I could find the video of the GTO that went over the wall. There was saftey people on their way before the car was done barrel rolling and the other car was off the track.
You want to see shit track crews go to one of these no et no rules tracks, they are a tragic accident waiting to happen. The only one that is not a death trap is Milan.
