hi crunch, my name is pat, i filmed this accident, i gave my only and original copy to ray at hauser race cars, is there any chance i can get a copy of it from you?
@dragster428 Hi Pat I don't have the copy that your on about , and it's going to be hard getting your copy off Ray now because I think he has left the country , This copy I posted came from one of the TV Programes that were shown , but if I can find the file from when I posted it your welcome to have a copy, just keep reminding me , because I forget things . lol
I was standing at that moment on the strip waiting to start up Rob Van Geffens top fuell super twin bike when this happens.Unbelieveble to witness Barry Sheavills got out the crash unharmed...
That was the worst thing I ever saw.....mainly because it ended the dismal career of the yawnworthy sheavills. So now we have to listen to the tedious prick on the PA system every time a real driver comes round in top fuel.
I got wet, well the tent, bbq, car, and everything else. We left on the satuarday afternoon after they called the day - and thought that the event would probably be called off on the following day. The main event was also a first for me in that I didn't get to go around the pits - never got the chance as saturday was taken up enjoying the pro mod sessions!
I remember seeing this live, although from the 60ft markers on the bank - it didn't look as bad as the cameras show, I remember think he's just blown the engine and caused it to crash, but causing the frame to snapped, was never on my mind.
A lot of debris went through the Scrutineering tent at the top of the pits, one wheel went through the tent & bounced & just missed Geoff Houser who was selling fuel at the end of the bank in the shutdown area.
Yes Ian it's the 1st one i've seen from the bank side, I think the main one I've seen is the one that Annie filmed from the pit side, wich is posted on the feel the noise page on here. I saw this on a men & motors programe on the telly.
no worries crunch, i will try to locate it somehow, good to see martyn jones' car back out, what a piece that is, ol kev is a master!

You think this one is bad . . . check out the crash video from Blaine Johnson's fatal crash at Indy in 1996 . . . you can find it on this site.

Why would anyone wish to see someone die? I'm sorry but that does not float my boat.
