Science Abuse Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 ...habbits of killing drivers: Very Unfortunate to see another young driver lost. When will drivers learn not to race those cars in that series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I saw the video and am watching the race, it's a shame. At least he died doing what he loved, most of us will never get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Shepard Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Very sad story. Not to sound like a freak but anyone know where the video is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Red Evo Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Sad to hear. Wasn't the guy who caused the accident related to George? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Very sad story. Not to sound like a freak but anyone know where the video is? ESPN.com has it Truly a sad situation. I was watching when it happened, and they pronounced him dead really quickly. Somewhere between 170mph and 206mph is where they estimated his speed (when I was watching) and he ran straight into the gearbox, taking away the entire front end of his car. Thoughts and prayers going out to a fellow racers family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yeah, kind of freaky...Tony George is his stepfather and he also owned the car that he hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Eric do you realy think the fact that he was in a IRL car made a differance in the fact that he hit a non moving object in the most dence section with 170+ mph of force. I meen espn said his spoter said go low but the car slid down the track into his path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Eric do you realy think the fact that he was in a IRL car made a differance Absolutely. The IRL is the only racing environment in which: A: those cars B: Race at those tracks That accident wouldn't have happened anywhere but a super speedway, and of all the super speedway race cars, the IRL car is the most likely to get you killed in such accidents. NACSAR, he'd have walked away and made a and ESPN highlight reel. You dont have alot of options when you're balls out on a speedway, and the carbon fibre cursh caskets that the IRL races are simply dangerous, ask Gil Defaren. HEll, Formula One, ask Ralf Schumacher if carbon firbre cars belong on speedways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
