2011 Rolex Road America - Gunter Schaldach Massive Crash over the wall

[DaBandiiT]

when did they race here? I go to the alms races. This race isnt on road america's website.

[dcooke1989]

@DaBandiiT I believe it was July4th and 5th

[DaBandiiT]

@dcooke1989 really? hmm thats weird that it's not on the website.

[dcooke1989]

@DaBandiiT I was incorrect. it was from June 23rd to the 25th--same dates as the nationwide race. if you just read the side bar it wouldn't have shown up, but the rolex series did race after the nationwide series.

[DaBandiiT]

@dcooke1989 oo. thats why. they were a supporting race. thanks man

[Racecarwrecks]

@DaBandiiT It was a Grand-Am race, not an ALMS race.

I guess Toyotas' aren't the only ones that get "stuck throttles" eh??

[CybaRJ]

Circuit's got a lot of questions to answer about the effectiveness of that gravel trap.

[SubaruRacer171]

@CybaRJ Gravel isn't going to instantly stop you at 130+

[BikerBonno]

@CybaRJ So it should all be tarmac then, to make them hit the wall quicker?

[RyanMacDaddy29]

They need a bigger fence. Glad hes ok but, better safe than sorry right. Put a bigger fence

[BoilerPainTrainBTFU]

I wonder what the spectators that were on the other side of the fence were thinking.

What the hell?

[iso100]

I'm friends with Gunter. His rear brakes failed and then when he hit the Mazda, his radiator smashed into the throttle body, forcing it wide-open full-throttle. That's why the front tires continued to smoke and he plowed straight through the gravel trap into and over the tire wall.

I was the photographer at Turn-1 that captured the shots of Gunter coming straight at me with a stuck throttle!! Visit our Facebook Page "RaceShotsResource" to see the photos! Give us a LIKE and check out the rest of the action!!

[JineteNocturno2011]

Heavy Crash , Road America is a great circuit, so funny

[nflfan85]

I have never seen an accident such as that before.

[BadErnest]

Typical SPEED/NASCAR director always cutting to an incar camera as an accident is happening--drives me crazy. Happy everyone is OK that is a very fast racetrack.

@NascarNixon shut up idiot!

[kingofrunescapepking]

@NascarNixon This has the aftermath, which I can't find.

[kingofrunescapepking]

@NascarNixon Either you're nuts or just mad trolling. Vid looks fine to me.

[motorsportcrash123]

@kingofrunescapepking NascarNixon is a liar, and I forgot to block it, the comments he makes resemble those of brazilliantroll!

[kingofrunescapepking]

@motorsportcrash123 Thought so. Just what YouTube doesn't need, more noobs like him

[Racecarwrecks]

@motorsportcrash123 Lol - block it. I have respect for your vids I just think you need to improve your editing skills (i.e. do some) and then you'll be properly respectable.
