this is what happens in open wheel racing, especially sprints, when the wheels touch, all drivers walked away, although one driver did need to be steadied a little, the one with the bottom of the car straight on
crsa sprints, a lower budget 305ci starter sprint car, but they still flip fast, taken at rolling wheels raceway, elbridge ny, saturday night 10/11/08, 5/8 mile, that's a much bigger track than the 1/4 and 1/3 miles these guys usually race on, so the speeds are correspondingly higher, throw in some inexperience and this is what it can look like
taken from the rooftop vip suite, pass courtesy of a friend from racing contacts, i tried panning a few but these are really hard, due to the speed, lots of junk shots, maybe 1 out of 12 a keeper, this happened right in front of me, but so fast even though i had the camera up at the time, i couldn't get anything usable of the air filled with flying sprint cars
76 360 ci sprints from ess and urc sanctions, 27 from crsa, 9 heats, 2 B mains, 2 A mains, nothing but wheels and wings all night long, not a fender in sight
