  • He didnt screw up the throttle hung and he did what he had to do to stop the car and not hurt anyone...being a racer myself I think he did a remarkable job...tore up the car a little but nobody got hurt....you dumbass

  • Wow that is one of the more bizarre racing accidents I've seen! Very lucky it was not more serious.

  • I agree Jimmylayers, very quick thinking to prevent a worse situation with a hung throttle in reverse

  • I saw something like that that back in the 70's at Atco in NJ... the car didn't fall over, but it did spin, and wipe out the tree...

  • Great job on doing what you had to do, cool head on that driver. Minimal damage I hope. 

  • jeez....

  • This guy did a great job with this obvious mechanical problem. In aviation terms he did a ground loop. He did this before the car had a chance to build up a lot of speed and get into an area with a lot of people. Fast thinking

  • REALLY GREAT AUDIO ALSO!!!

  • The engine note didn;t change as it suddenly gained speed, looks like maybe the clutch was grabbing and not disengaging properly.

  • Do all yourselves a favor and read the write-up above (if you can read).  It's clearly explained that the throttle got in a bind, which caused the accident. DUH!!!!!!!
