It's amazing what a couple gallons of Nitromethane can do...

[drchamp05]

your GD right

[billinc]

Look around for footage of Tony Schumacher's crash a few seasons back, I'll try & find it & post a link. Co-incidentally (or not) this car was an ex-Schumacher chassis as well. The flex is engineered in to aid hookup etc but I've wondered for awhile now whether their design is pushing the envelope just a bit too far.....

[edhd23]

We are good fruiends with him and live very close to him i have seen the car in bits

[Payney122]

it still brings a shiver to watch that. Phil is one very lucky man. great footage too.

[yamamato44]

man he styled it with a 200 metre barrel roll!

[royism]

Did he win? lol - just kidding.. He's one lucky fellow!

[Alisterwolf66]

Holy s***! Was he airborne through the traps?

Really says something about modern safety equipment, when a man can walk away from something that violent.

[tripodmd]

yer he was airborne for about 150 - 200 metres.

[jackass18241]

wow i remember this but you couldn't see much of the crash from where i was. All you could hear was big explosion, silence then sirens and then about 15 000 people going oh shit.. and he walked out with a bruised finger Hahah.

[mwaugh92]

i bet it took ages to clean up the track

[mattsbs]

On the pass that darren did a 5.0 something it was on track for a 4.6sec pass but at half track the head gasket let go.

[dumpy3321]

[stewie4gvnr]

ran a 4.68, not bad at all

(22 sec into vid)

[shazzypumpkin]

yeah but which part of the car did a 4.68?? It could have been any part that went flying!!

[johanwolfe]

So...what did he run?

[bennieboy450]

thats real power and you need big balls to stay on .not like the old driver 'half track darren'

[Mikesdragracingvids]

'Half track Darren'?

Give him a break man, he's just got a new car, I bet you'll be throwing the congrats when he starts putting numbers down. I see some people down under still lack some brains!!

[ThySaint]

That's amazing how the driver walked away after the crash.

[qld4lyf]

well at least the car was ment to snap in 2

his a brave boy to step back in the car and lucky

worst crash ive attend in 10 yrs

[Rodarooni]

Wow what a crash.Bet the yanks are even blown away by that

[Mikesdragracingvids]

WTF No one is ever blown away by a crash man! Wow wtf!

[Rodarooni]

What I mean by "blown away" is they were stunned.Of course no one wants anyone to crash.Talk about over react to my comment

[Payney122]

the americans actually used this crash in an investigation into drag racing saftey recently i heard

[shin2581]

i was there also 2nd worst crash ive seen in 16 yrs of attending willowbank jim reads roll through the timing lights looked worse as it was in the day time made you feel sick in the guts till the call came over the speakers he was all right gotta love the safety cells they have

[Mikesdragracingvids]

I'm still amazed Jim got out of that one, back home in Australia I have a two page spread of it, and it still baffles me.

[jackass18241]

that was crazy. I was there last night and i'd never seen such a big crash.

[nosjunky]

Oh yeah - A cut finger and a chipped tooth apparently - Amazing

[boonhqmonaro]

[brumbytry49]

I was in the stands that night and i have never heard the crowd so quiet not knowing if was alive or not

[BiscuitsXR6Turbo]

WOW, that is an awesome stack, and to think he walked away from that accident
