Jeremy Dale Fabrizio Barbazza IMSA accident part 2

[pokemon56761]

Se trata de un accidente fatal?> was this a fatal crash?

[ilferrari]

1:47 Listen to the engine. Dale does not slow until the car is right in front of him. He could see well before that there was a crash on the exit, yet he tried to guess and accelerate through the smoke.

[Timbalo0]

@ilferrari I can clearly hear him lift the throttle at 1:50

Deffo no acceleration there. Check your ears...

[ilferrari]

@Timbalo0 He lifts initially @ 1.50 when he sees the smoke on the exit of the corner. Instead of braking, he simply goes to the other side of the track and then opens the throttle again @ 1.52 just before he emerges from the smoke and sees a car right in front of him.

To all spics-learn English, or fuck off.

[Lukeno52]

I appreciate the likelyhood of losing control completely, but why the fuck did he not  take ANY avoiding action whatsoever?

[MoleLoosli]

@Lukeno52 try to go at 120mph on a blind curve to the right, where an accident on the left side takes your ' avoiding' atenttion ah find another car stopped in front of you. I think that even the best driver of the universe wouldn't have any chance of avoid that racecar.

[nachoslemenheads]

@Lukeno52 Watch the in-car camera at real speed at 1:46. That car was spinning right in front of him. I think it sounded like tires locked up a milli-second before impact. Turning the tires at that point wouldnt have done any good.

[redbull69cl]

@nachoslemenheads Jeremy dale was ok, right? I saw him move his hand on the onboard camera.

[racered94]

@Lukeno52 havnt you ever thought of of how much reaction time there was? well there was less than half a second or you could try this your self and crash and end you're career

[nascarsignore]

@Lukeno52 did you ever watch the real time on board you fucking idiot?

[NeeKroVal]

@Lukeno52 lol did u not see the incar cam around 0:31 that was in super slow mo bak in the day

[Slyder1982]

No puede ser! = I can't believe this!

[TheArfdog]

Fucksticks that's hard

[Lucariooooo]

0:35 - This is why HANS devices are being used now, glad to know both drivers survived this horrible crash.

[CRXSI1987]

@Lucariooooo amen to that....i dont think the neck is supposed to bend like that......he is very lucky to be alive and it is a releif that they werent killed in this accident.

[jraybay]

OH MY GOODNESS!  D:

[krayzeejojo]

FFUUUCCCKK!! Can't remember the last time I saw a race car get split in half =O

[mgrande11]

What a violent crash, the onboard is unlike any other

[2muchskill4you]

he just couldnt react fast enough...

[jraybay]

I've never seen the crash in slo-mo wow :D

[Preenline]

Ouch

[Banda2107]

Onboard = DAMN!

[Halflernation]

indeed!

can believe the can did resist the impact without off image and sound loss :S

[chalelis]

And that was in 1995 O.O .. Impressive!

[playingbass45]

Oh, yeah. That onboard is scary as shit!!

[medol64]

thanks!!

[medol64]

Dale and Barbazza are died? sorry for my bad english,i'm french!

[deggis4]

Both are alive but suffered bad injuries.

Neither one of them returned to racing unfortunatley.

[MOMOf333SP]

Jeremy Dale is a comintator now

[slimjim18]

though I missed this part of the telecast, i did catch the end of the race when this originally aired. if i remember correctly, a spectator died when hit by flying debris...

[Senninha70]

A spectator was injured by a wheel in a later crash (involving Steve Millen and Didier Theys) but I don't know if he was killed. Incidentally, Steve Millen was very seriously injured in that crash making this the last competitive race for Millen, Barbazza, and Dale. The race winner, James Weaver, said he wished he'd never gotten out of bed that day.

[ilferrari]

That's why you slow right down when there's a huge wreck in front of you. Jeremy Dale lifted, then opened the throttle on the exit of the corner.

[jesseferrari]

You cant brake that hard, you will lock up brakes...you would still hit them hard.....there both lucky to be alive, its lucky jeremy, hit him in that "Soft spot of the car" or both of them might have been killed...

[JoeytheHDK]

good lord, Jeremy Dale's onboard hurt to watch.

[natty714]

...couldn't agree more...I remember watching this race live on ESPN...absolutely the most devastating onboard crash footage I've ever seen.

[DFP1987]

specially in real time...
