Great footage! Crappy incident. At least you'll have the memory forever. I do this stuff so when I can't anymore, I'll have something to watch and remember. Hope the car is back together. Blew the engine in the 240 at ITR Expo and it still isn't back yet.
@hotchickc69 I dont think anyone is blaming the cornerworker. I was the one that got hit, and i dont blame him either. The right flags were out the whole time. If the corner worker ahead of this turn had the flags out too, then that also adds some additional driver error. I think the only thing some participants had wished they would have seen is the black flag out after the one car spun out in the turn and landed next to me since it basically creatated a dangerous situation under the rules
1st off how did NASA get into this? This is a Redline Race. IF you watch the corner worker he has out the caution flag as he is calling in and then puts the surface flag goes out before the second car gets to the corner and the third car knows about it from the corner worker before so it is the drivers who need to start watching the corner workers. This corner worker is calling in for black flag after the third car fails to pay attention to what is happening.
I saw this happend and was pissed, they should of black flagged everyone after civic almost nailed you. I just cant believe it went from people breaking records to a blow engine, wrecked cars and the sti catching fire
I'd like to see this in real time, Greg was in that impact zone WAY too long. I think the "local" corner worker was doing all he could, but since he was so busy waving flags, I don't think he had time to relay the severity of the situation over the radio.... Maybe that's why NASA uses 2 people in a lot of the flag stations, one for flagging and one for communicating to the organizers/other flag stations.
Very sorry that this happened. Thanks for posting the video. We are all curious what happened and how it can be avoided in the future. Thank goodness it wasn't worse.
wow, I think I would have needed to change a few clothing items after that. All the bashing I saw about this on a certain forum about the corner workers was not needed. You can tell that the drivers of the civic and evo had their heads down and not looking far enough up track. Glad it was only a tap from 1 of the 2.

Why did the car move at 1:14.... looks like enough oil down no way it was still running?

For those of you who are talking smack about the corner works question for you. HAVE YOU EVER WORKED A CORNER DURING A RACE?

@1LapSRT The real time video is quite long. there is a pretty good gap from when the first car hits to when the car spun out.
