it was actually me who killed vasilli zaitsev, heinz thorwald, carlos hatchcock, and simo hayha
From Doune hillclimb
Spot the marshalls quick jump and YES that is the driver who climbed out and went back to look at the bank he hit

^^^ Mercifully the track workers got out of the way and the driver was OK. That looked like a scary moment.
That accident was a shocker in real time, still amazes that Dumbreck wasn't seriously injured. Remember, there were TWO incidents, the first was Mark Webber flipping in practice. Seems like Mercedes' aero department would've noticed the mistakes Porsche made the year earlier at Road Atlanta. Two years later it was Bill Auberlin in the BMW V12 LMR... they really missed the lesson. At both tracks, the road was ultimately re-graded to lessen the rise.

That's Doune Hillclimb and the whole run is that kind of scary.
100mph through trees flat out with corners
( actually the single seaters get 120 PLUS )
We will "lose" 2-3 cars each event
Current record holder .... if you look you can see the new boards replaced at the marshal's post

That's bad.

That was at the 2005 Brian Redman Int'l Challenge, Road America.

A brief discussion of what happened (quote):
"Mayor of Dogtown:
Today, I was with Windycity at Road America and decided to work the corners.
Three hours in they had a smash up at the corner before mine. It was reported to
start with there were injuries, and later it was down played to minor injuries, lets hope so.
>>>>>>>>>
Mr Nice Guy:
So what happened? looks like #71 got turned around and caused the pile up maybe?
>>>>>>>>>
Mayor of Dogtown:
Double yellow behind the pace car, pace car ducked in, green flag. Wham. About
the best I can tell you. I was 500 meters away. Saw a hood fly over the timing
bridge, smoke, some cars were on fire. Time to get the flags out, etc., call in
on the phones. Watch our station." (end quote)
Looks like this Cobra driver (reportedly a real one) was one of those injured.

Here are a few accidents I've photographed in my career.
This guy had a medical episode and went off an overpass and nearly into a creek:
This one, the black car in the background was speeding and hit this Lexus. The driver at fault told me to stop taking pictures or he'd "shove my camera up my f***ing ***"
This genius was high on dope and crossed over the median and hit the rear axles of a semi. He walked away and was arrested a week later for driving while smoking a crack pipe. Oh and both times he was driving cars that didn't belong to him (nor did he have a valid license).
This trucker and his passenger just lost control and rolled into the ditch. No major injuries.
No pics yet but ....
