@billville111 my dad..who's a very famous p-51 race pilot....insists that when he was flying hard left bank..the plane went into a high-speed stall....that everything that happened at that mirco-second,,was the planes own action and that he had nothing to do with it's behavior. that he was dead when the plane pitched up so hard from a broken neck,,the seat collapsed ...and the end was the crash into the cement.

@Voodoo1650 Thank-you Voodoo 1650..I hope next year is uneventfull and a much better time is had by all! Now I have to pick a new racer to root for..Likely, Voodoo, or young Steve Hinton Jr. and Strega, but Ghost and Jimmy will always in my heart and be number 1..

I agree with you - The plane rolled left, and it looks like he over corrected and then pitched up. The questions are; why did it sharply roll left? Why did it pitch up? After it pitched up, I think he went out and then it snapped or torque rolled right and went in.
As soon as I get this armchair to taxi out, I'll take another look at it. Bill
which plane at the start is the same one that crashed?

This is the absolute best air racing tape that I have ever seen, and I have looked at a few. The engine starts, the sounds of the engines running @ takeoff power: you captured it all, not to mention the exact instant at which the late Jimmy Leeward's Galloping Ghost departed controlled flight, never to return. You have a gift, Voodoo 1650, God bless you.
I am sure that you have helped the NTSB immensely with their investigation.

@clutchcrgo Thanks Clutch, very much appreciated!!! You're correct, I have been in contact with the NTSB and have given them all the footage I shot of the plane from this year.
