Please dont talk about what you dont know about. This level is the same as any other and very safe for cars that fly tumble and bounce off each other all the time . If you dont think so look into buying and building your own race car they are very expensive due to all the safety regulations at the tracks constant changes for safety and lawsuits to tracks and manufacturers ..........This track is very good safe and fun to go watch .
g6rcteam How do you know anything about what I know? I don't circuit race but I've been a part of a drag racing team since I was 12 and also race in Autocross. This crash reminded me of Dale Earnhardts crash. And what Nascar did after that to improve their track designs and safety devices in their cars basically eliminated the chance of that happening again. That's why a crash like this should not have the effect on someone the way this one did.
I saw Dave race with cars like these twice at new Smyrna speedway. Absolutely thrilling racing. I also saw him at IRP back in 2001 I think. When he won a big bonus for winning both heats the night before the F1 race. He had to start last in the second heat and passed everyone, they let us on the track at new Smyrna to meet the drivers and i was able to talk to him and tell him how awesome that race was. He seemed shy and maybe a little embarrassed I was so complimentary . Seemed like a really nice guy.
It’s crazy how a wreck that looks so minor from the outside can be fatal. It’s sad but I have to think that if he had been a bit more thoughtful about his safety equipment this could’ve been prevented. I know it’s completely different but it reminds me of people who race gutted out, high horsepower cars on the street without even having something as simple as a roll bar, let alone a decent cage and a helmet. Some people will get lucky and survive if they wreck, others won’t. The video from 1320 of the fox body mustang (if I remember correctly) crashing at the pad is the example that comes to mind. I just feel bad for this guy’s family and friends. RIP Edit: I just want to add, sprint cars scare the shit out of me lol. I’ve only ever watched them race on dirt though. Props to those who do it because you definitely won’t find my ass in one those. I mean, I’d drive one around for fun on some flat dirt given the opportunity, but not in a race of any kind. I’m too much of a bitch lol.
At least you're one guy who knows what his limits are and is ready to admit to having any. False bravado gets more people (we Men in particular) hurt and killed than just about anything else you can think of. Like, "no, that ain't to high" or "I'm alright to drive home" or "I know my way around horses" or "of course I know how to handle a gun" etc etc etc.
This reminds me of Big E’s crash. You can watch it over and over and still not be able to make sense of it. Godspeed Dave, thanks for your sacrifice for my entertainment.
One of the best ever at this game...he was always so smooth..he must have got swatted by another couple cars battling for position...RIP Dave Steele...
I hate how Sprint Cars/Midgets/Mini Sprints/etc have a disproportionately higher death rate than the local stock cars ( Late Models, Sportsman, Modifieds, Street Stocks, etc.). I like Sprint Car action, but get panicky when a crash happens live. You just never know. Probably because they're smaller, more powerful, and have less crumple zones (where the car breaks apart without too much energy being transferred to the driver). But all Dirt/Short Track Formula Car drivers (Sprints, etc), you've gotta respect them. They put their lives on the line for their and our entertainment, that shows how much they love the sport and their selflessness. I knew such a driver who died a few years ago because of that.

@@sidebite2533 I guess it is a regional thing but in Upstate NY and PA winged sprint cars are pretty much only ran on dirt ovals. I guess places like Florida or Cali have series that run on asphalt but where I'm from USAC and midgets are the only series you see on asphalt.
@@haiwin224 Yes. You're speaking truth my friend. I live in PA myself and we only have maybe 2 asphalt tracks in the entire state.

I was only 14 and my dad signed as driver to get me through. We had the same name Jr./Sr. Back in 1989 you weren't allowed to race unless you had a drivers license.

welllsaiddddd I know that. I'm saying I don't understand how he was killed from such a seemingly small impact. I know it was a hard hit but compared to other wrecks I've seen where the driver walked away this one wasn't nearly as bad. That's why I'm saying some part of his safety equipment must have failed.
This guy dies from tapping the wall yet we have guys fly through the air flip and flop as their car explodes into pieces and they walk away. May his soul find the light.
He didn't run a full containment seat. That's actually a pretty hard hit into the wall. With no left side shoulder or head support on a seat, if you get a hit to one side it will throw your body over that way. If I remember correctly, the autopsy said blunt force trauma to the head, but don't quote me on that I don't exactly remember off hand. Which would line, up with the no full containment seat, when he hit he wall pretty hard his head very likely hit also. Also another cause of death could be broken neck. I'd have to go back and look at the report, but I think that was the same cause for Jason Leffler. Also a Hans/head and neck restraint very likely wouldn't have saved either of them. Most head and neck restraints are for forward impact only, some 2 strap restraints like the Hybrid can help in some side to side and a little vertical, but not to the extent of this crash.

Earnhardt’s crash looked super serious. Check out the non-broadcast camera angles that weren’t moving with the cars so you could actually get a sense of how fast he drove up the race track head-on into the wall
@@bwfextreme Really don't care to debate his very likely preventable Death. Seems you have your opinion, and I have mine. Guess it's a matter of perception ? But thanks for sharing ! 👍😉
@@davidgoodman6924 You are very likely correct ? I haven't followed Nascar since back when they were shown on ABC's Wide World of Sports on Saturdays, when I was a kid !

Anyway, was witness to many, " Good Ole Boys ", episodes of cheating, one way or another. ( Aluminum intakes, etc.) When the mag test came out, and a pass was given, it just got old for me !

I intend to make my life work designing safety equipment for Motorsport i wish vids like this would get flagged but I thank God for videos like this so I can analyze them however i still wish i could get the coroner's report...
Alexander Hooper Would you be covering this if Dave had won the race instead of being killed? You and your employer are whats wrong with the world. Stupid fucks like you pray for celebrity deaths, natural disasters, terror strikes, etc. just to have a fucking job you worthless fucks.
Lets assume you actually work for FOX13, are you seriously going to use this shitting vertically filmed video over the countless others that weren't filmed by a monkey? FIRED, you should be fired and put death for the pain and suffering of all the unfortunate souls you show this too.
I really enjoy dirt track racing it's full of thrills and spills but damn those sprint car racers are risking alot strapping into those tiny V8 powered death traps. RIP Mr. Steele
I agree with a couple of other comments. I don't believe this was his fatal crash. His fatal crash occurred when he was passing lap cars. This was the first lap. I don't think this is it.
trust me on this one mr. bullwood. mr steele's signature move was to jump three wide and pass 3 or 4 rows of cars. Sport allen tries to enter turn one in the second groove and a car dives underneath him. Sport starts to move up to miss the idiot and contact with mr steele is made. It took me about 30 seconds to run from the flagstand to turn 1, and Mr. Steele was gone when I got there.
Wow! Didn't look that bad. Something unusual must have happened. Failed safety gear or something. Sad day. Great racer gone too soon. The only thing I can say is, and I know it's cliche but it's still true, he was doing something he loved. He's probably up there wishing if it had to happen why couldn't it happen at the end of the race instead of the start.
One of our newsrooms is working on a story about the crash and Dave Steele. Are you the individual who created the video and own the copyrights to it? If so, we’d like to get your permission to use and share your video.
next time you see a pic of him standing next to his car. The left rear wheel was mashed flat to the hub. ZERO driver containment to the left...structurally or seat.
Did he snap his neck we were at the the Texas motor speedway and someone was doing a test hit and he finished drove to his trailer and just died before he got out of his car
Bet all twenty fans felt guilty once they found out the guy had died. After all, as the announcer said, they were doing it for them. Not for money, glory, a career or fun, but for them.
I don't think they race for the fans. I think they drive these cars because it is a gas! Thrilling beyond description. Punching the old E ticket, an adrenaline rush like you can't believe. They do it for fun, whether anybody is watching or not.
@Revelian1982 Don't be a turd. Did I say the announcer was lying? Are not I entitled to an opinion? In my opinion, racers race because it's fun. It's a thrill. It's an adrenaline rush. Whether it's 100 people watching or 100,000. Or nobody at all for that matter. I know this because a long time ago I used to be one.
@@guessmyname1104 He didnt try to turn right, his left rear tire got bumped and sent him into the wall. Although sort of similar to how Earnhardt got bumped and spun, still super disrespectful to say
@@alexdodge2515 looks to me like he hit the rear tyre of the car in front which turned him towards the wall. Nobody close enough behind him to spin him.
What you posted HAS to be what you heard...because that ISN'T what happened AT ALL. That is a disgusting, insulting statement to everyone who responded to Mr. Steele's crash that March 25th...totally untrue. Shame on you!
Can't believe this caused death. He must have had some kind of safety equipment failure. These guys use HANS devices so I just don't get it. RIP Dave. :-(
he hit roof first so what likely happened is the cage above him collapsed and compressed into the top of his head causing his head to literally impact the wall. Hans wouldn't have done anything in this type of crash.
hi johnny smokestack - john Wang ( see post above ) said that most of these sprint car drivers DON'T use H.A.N.S. devices - After the death of Dale Earnhardt Sr. ,all drivers in NASCAR were forced into wearing these devices - or they don't get in their race car - period - maybe the same thing MUST be mandatory for all Sprint Car Drivers - so this NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN - Always the same thing - $$$$$$$ first - safety second - poor man - pure evil GREED - Human life not as important as the almighty dollar - just fill those seats - so what if a driver dies - ??!!?? - death sells more tickets - SICK AND EVIL - Rest In Peace , Mr. Dave Steele - maybe his death will prompt positive changes - so this NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN - 😔🌹🕊🌈☁
A HANS doesn't do any good in a side impact hit. It is designed to protect for a frontal impact. That's why a window net ( along with a HANS ) is required in SCCA, and NASA also requires a right side net. It's also why a lot of the amature racers I race with are going to full containment seats. ( Not directed at you John, just putting it out there for those who don't know).
Cody Hack: "he hit roof first" NO HE DIDN'T! This was a glancing left side (the bad side) impact @ approximately 75 mph. Here is a DIRECT left side impact @ approximately 155 mph. Have no idea how he survived it, but he lived and raced for years afterwards. ruclips.net/video/GkN38ayoSTk/видео.html. If you want a legit "roof first" impact resulting in broken neck, Shane Hmiel ruclips.net/video/Wm8vv25-jY0/видео.html Quadriplegic the rest of his life and can barely speak.
I believe this was one of the last real races at the track and it was later sold to some clown who puts on some sort of stupid crash derby’s there now.
You have no clue. Garrett Mitchell aka cleetus Mcfarland saved Desoto.. it's now the freedom factory. Him and his crew put alot of time and money into reviving it. Without him it would have been another lost short track.
Why don't you go watch some sprint car videos from the 50's and 60's. There was way more deaths, no safety equipment isn't going to scare people enough to make them go slower if that's what your trying to argue. The racing sure as hell wasn't boring back then either.
@@luckydude29 I suppose your right it's not like football where if you took the pads away they wouldn't crush each other and wind up with concussions and screwed up body's the rest of their life.
Wait....we're talking about the black car, right?? It looked like he barely touched the wall. Sure he didn't have a med issue after being spun out just before the wall??
suggestion: google a pic of the 33, look at the left rear wheel. You should notice that it is about 10-12 inches deep. From the whiplash from the nose hitting the wall, that wheel was smashed flat against the hub, with zero driver containment on the left side. His medical issue came from helmet contact with steel reinforced concrete.

Go practice self hypnosis, or with a practitioner, practice meditation with out of body experience go explore the schools we have on the other side. Go to the library, go to the tapestry. It’s all there to explore. But yet instead most will argue against my points because they can’t accept they lived their whole life a lie.
@@gtm624 // How ironic; you state that what humans teach is false namely b/c they're "human" yet you are a "human." Understand that the truth I share has been grammatically, historically, and literally validated for thousands of yrs by Christian and non-Christians scholars alike. There is also 4x more extant ancient Biblical text/documents surpassing any amount of secular writings; all of which are replete with fulfilled prophesy, historic and scientific facts, etc. "There is a way that *seems right* to a man, but its end is the way of death" [Proverbs 14 v12]

e.g. "god" = false deity; God = an existing God of truth. "thrown" = to throw or advance an object; "throne" a seat of dignity which a ruler sits upon.
YOU are a fraud, a fake, an imitation of truth.
now the freedom factory
how on earth did that kill him ??? iv seen way more damaged sprint cars & drivers get out walk away R.I.P
All that can be said, is following this crash, before the next round the series mandated full containment seats
@@therealether1 Yeah that clarifies what I was thinking. What a shame this happend.
He didnt have a left side head rest or a HANS device, the left side of the car hitting the wall snapped his neck
“Caution coming out for the 33 of Dave Steele” those words will always haunt
Crazy to think that this is the Freedom Factory now!! Rip
I thought i was tripping at first, I was tryna figure that out, damn

I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth. If you still even remember that name.
But I'm afraid you've been misinformed.
You are not here to receive a gift. Nor, have you been called here by the individual you assume. Although, you have indeed been called.
You have all been called here. Into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune.
A labyrinth with no exit. A maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust of blood has driven you in endless circles. Chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near.
But, you will never find them. None of you will.
This is where your story ends.
And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Although, there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be.
I am remaining as well. I am nearby.
This place will not be remembered and the memory of everything that started this, can finally begin to fade away. As the agony of every tragedy should.
And to you monsters trapped in the corridors. Be still. And give up your spirits.
They don't belong to you.
As for most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps, warm, waiting for you after the smoke clears.
Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole. So, don't keep the Devil waiting, friend.
My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up in their arms, the way you lifted others into yours.
And then, what became of you, I should have known, you wouldn't be content to disappear. Not my daughter. I couldn't save you then.
So, let me save you now. It's time to rest, for you, and for those you have carried in your arms...
This ends.
For all of us.
End Communication.
R I P ...so sorry...
Reminds me of Earnhardt's crash !
Didn't look serious, but we all know how that went !
🏁 R.I.P. 🏁
Earnhardt’s crash looked super serious. Check out the non-broadcast camera angles that weren’t moving with the cars so you could actually get a sense of how fast he drove up the race track head-on into the wall
@@bwfextreme
Really don't care to debate his very likely preventable Death.
Seems you have your opinion, and I have mine.
Guess it's a matter of perception ?
But thanks for sharing !
👍😉
@Sleeve My guess you didn't see the stationary actual speed camera video of Earnhardt's wreck. It was brutal.
@@davidgoodman6924
You are very likely correct ?
I haven't followed Nascar since back when they were shown on ABC's Wide World of Sports on Saturdays, when I was a kid !
I was a Crew Chief for a friend, back in the day, starting with Bombers, thru Modifieds, who quite coincidentally carried the 03 on our cars !
Anyway, was witness to many, " Good Ole Boys ", episodes of cheating, one way or another.
( Aluminum intakes, etc.)
When the mag test came out, and a pass was given, it just got old for me !
Plus it too was about local popularity and getting sponsored, no matter how crooked !
And guess I just figured it just increased, exponentially the further you went ?
When all I really wanted to say in my comment, was it doesn't take much to kill you, and how Earnhardt's death shocked everyone, Fan or not !
Pardon me for running on !
✌️😉
O3
@Sleeve Then we are about the same age. The agony of defeat on ABC Wide World of Sports. The skier crashing during that intro is embedded into my memory..lol
Did his head make contact with the wall or did it just snap his neck like what happened to Earnhardt??
I think when sprint cars hit the wall the cars tilt 45° allowing the helmet to smack the bar hard Inside the car. That's my belief. Blunt force trauma
This video just may go viral, RIP Dave Steele!!
It's customary when shooting vertical video to yell "WORLDSTAR!!" Hence the thumbs down.
I intend to make my life work designing safety equipment for Motorsport i wish vids like this would get flagged but I thank God for videos like this so I can analyze them however i still wish i could get the coroner's report...
Headtrauma is what was announced publicly in the area.
Morning,
May FOX13 in Tampa use this video with a courtesy to you?
Alexander Hooper Would you be covering this if Dave had won the race instead of being killed? You and your employer are whats wrong with the world. Stupid fucks like you pray for celebrity deaths, natural disasters, terror strikes, etc. just to have a fucking job you worthless fucks.
What kind of news do you think sells? Are you really that naive?
Yes you have my permission to show the footage
I might add, please get permission from the family first if you intend to "air" this.
Lets assume you actually work for FOX13, are you seriously going to use this shitting vertically filmed video over the countless others that weren't filmed by a monkey? FIRED, you should be fired and put death for the pain and suffering of all the unfortunate souls you show this too.
Legend dirt driver saw him race at the Springfield fairgrounds in Illinois
Hard hit sudden dead stop impact will impact your internals ..reminds me of number 3's impact ..didn't look so bad ..but ..rip😔
Joe it's Ben Tugs from McHenry!!
it doesnt make any since
Just like Dale Sr, or any of us, when it’s your time, it’s your time.
RIP Dave.
Is this pre Cletus freedom factory? (Bradenton motor sports park)
I really enjoy dirt track racing it's full of thrills and spills but damn those sprint car racers are risking alot strapping into those tiny V8 powered death traps. RIP Mr. Steele
That’s a paved track.
Very similar to Joe Weatherly crash @ Riverside.
Rest in Peace Steele
S*** going fast in the curb your spoilers ain't nothing but airplane wings
Physics ain't our friend.
Where was this at?
Desoto Raceway, now known as The Freedom Factory
march 25th 2017
I agree with a couple of other comments. I don't believe this was his fatal crash. His fatal crash occurred when he was passing lap cars. This was the first lap. I don't think this is it.
trust me on this one mr. bullwood. mr steele's signature move was to jump three wide and pass 3 or 4 rows of cars. Sport allen tries to enter turn one in the second groove and a car dives underneath him. Sport starts to move up to miss the idiot and contact with mr steele is made. It took me about 30 seconds to run from the flagstand to turn 1, and Mr. Steele was gone when I got there.
Wow! Didn't look that bad. Something unusual must have happened. Failed safety gear or something. Sad day. Great racer gone too soon. The only thing I can say is, and I know it's cliche but it's still true, he was doing something he loved. He's probably up there wishing if it had to happen why couldn't it happen at the end of the race instead of the start.
His head hit the wall
*Freedom Factory back in the day*
Who won the race?
Holy shit read the god damn room one time
One of our newsrooms is working on a story about the crash and Dave Steele. Are you the individual who created the video and own the copyrights to it? If so, we’d like to get your permission to use and share your video.
you can use it as long as the family is ok with it
The Freedom Factory!?!
please turn your phonr sideways land scape mode not portrait
Please spell phone right and not have so many spaces between words. Thank you
isnt this the freedom factory now?
Rotate that phone 90 degrees next time.
thanks for the tip. I hope there is never a next time.
so did he break his neck or his head hit wall, as he hit wall exposed to offside apparently
next time you see a pic of him standing next to his car. The left rear wheel was mashed flat to the hub. ZERO driver containment to the left...structurally or seat.
Why the hell is the genre comedy
It doesn't take much just a move the wrong way
Was he even wearing a HANS device?
No

Hi Joe,Can ABC7 in Sarasota use your video with credit to you?Thank you,-Erika Jackson, Reporter
you have my permission as long as the family is ok with it.
RIP wildman
He did steel the scene
Did he snap his neck we were at the the Texas motor speedway and someone was doing a test hit and he finished drove to his trailer and just died before he got out of his car
Today this morning
The absolute dumbest type of racecar these are!! Why anyone would be so insane to get behind the wheel of one of these??
Nope. Look at a NASCAR late model. That’s coming from a NASCAR fan
why would anyone jump from an airplane, bunjee jump etc...they like to get high without drugs
Bet all twenty fans felt guilty once they found out the guy had died. After all, as the announcer said, they were doing it for them. Not for money, glory, a career or fun, but for them.
I don't think they race for the fans. I think they drive these cars because it is a gas! Thrilling beyond description. Punching the old E ticket, an adrenaline rush like you can't believe. They do it for fun, whether anybody is watching or not.
@@jerrycoggin9434 Wait, so you believe the announcer was..lying?
@Revelian1982 Don't be a turd. Did I say the announcer was lying? Are not I entitled to an opinion?
In my opinion, racers race because it's fun. It's a thrill. It's an adrenaline rush. Whether it's 100 people watching or 100,000. Or nobody at all for that matter. I know this because a long time ago I used to be one.
@@jerrycoggin9434 But the announcer said they were doing it for them.
Looks like Joe Rebmans fatal crash. Hopped a tire and weak side against the wall
It should be made a crime punishable by death to film videos vertically. When the fuck fuck will people learn?
These cars are open wheeled so when they touch another cars tire 😅
Freedom factory’s first victim
My ex races these.
Track out of business?
Its now the freedom factory owned by cleetus McFarland
This was Dakota Speedway, it went out of business & was bought by RUclipsr Cleetus McFarland...

R,I,P, DAVE
He Earnhardted himself
That's about the stupidest thing floating around in that pea sized brain of yours...lmfaoupos
Your parents failed you
@@bryonkidder6199 He looked like he tried to turn right instead of left
@@guessmyname1104 He didnt try to turn right, his left rear tire got bumped and sent him into the wall. Although sort of similar to how Earnhardt got bumped and spun, still super disrespectful to say
@@alexdodge2515 looks to me like he hit the rear tyre of the car in front which turned him towards the wall.
Nobody close enough behind him to spin him.
He's Dead Jim
They just let him sit there. No tow truck, fire crew, ambulance, etc.. not even one staff member went over to check if he was ok.
Disgusting!
They did afterwards
What you posted HAS to be what you heard...because that ISN'T what happened AT ALL. That is a disgusting, insulting statement to everyone who responded to Mr. Steele's crash that March 25th...totally untrue. Shame on you!
Can't believe this caused death. He must have had some kind of safety equipment failure. These guys use HANS devices so I just don't get it. RIP Dave. :-(
he hit roof first so what likely happened is the cage above him collapsed and compressed into the top of his head causing his head to literally impact the wall. Hans wouldn't have done anything in this type of crash.
hi johnny smokestack - john Wang ( see post above ) said that most of these sprint car drivers DON'T use H.A.N.S. devices - After the death of Dale Earnhardt Sr. ,all drivers in NASCAR were forced into wearing these devices - or they don't get in their race car - period - maybe the same thing MUST be mandatory for all Sprint Car Drivers - so this NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN - Always the same thing - $$$$$$$ first - safety second - poor man - pure evil GREED - Human life not as important as the almighty dollar - just fill those seats - so what if a driver dies - ??!!?? - death sells more tickets - SICK AND EVIL - Rest In Peace , Mr. Dave Steele - maybe his death will prompt positive changes - so this NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN - 😔🌹🕊🌈☁
A HANS doesn't do any good in a side impact hit. It is designed to protect for a frontal impact. That's why a window net ( along with a HANS ) is required in SCCA, and NASA also requires a right side net. It's also why a lot of the amature racers I race with are going to full containment seats. ( Not directed at you John, just putting it out there for those who don't know).
Cody Hack: "he hit roof first" NO HE DIDN'T! This was a glancing left side (the bad side) impact @ approximately 75 mph. Here is a DIRECT left side impact @ approximately 155 mph. Have no idea how he survived it, but he lived and raced for years afterwards. ruclips.net/video/GkN38ayoSTk/видео.html. If you want a legit "roof first" impact resulting in broken neck, Shane Hmiel ruclips.net/video/Wm8vv25-jY0/видео.html Quadriplegic the rest of his life and can barely speak.
again!!! another death
It happens
Are you new here on earth? 🙂
I believe this was one of the last real races at the track and it was later sold to some clown who puts on some sort of stupid crash derby’s there now.
You have no clue wtf you’re talking about smh.. All the info is right there for you to find yet you choose to be ignorant
You have no clue. Garrett Mitchell aka cleetus Mcfarland saved Desoto.. it's now the freedom factory. Him and his crew put alot of time and money into reviving it. Without him it would have been another lost short track.
Don't think for one second you have a clue as to what your talking about. The CLOWN here is YOU.
@@bobobaggins2034 ...I mean ALOT of money
Holy shit
There should be no seat belts or any safety equipment in racing. Then there wouldn't be many crashes. It would be pretty boring though.
Why don't you go watch some sprint car videos from the 50's and 60's. There was way more deaths, no safety equipment isn't going to scare people enough to make them go slower if that's what your trying to argue. The racing sure as hell wasn't boring back then either.
@@luckydude29 I suppose your right it's not like football where if you took the pads away they wouldn't crush each other and wind up with concussions and screwed up body's the rest of their life.
@@johnthomson8332 usually about two to five people die per year at the isle of man tt races not just riders but spectators too
maybe cleetus will see his ghost. and get it on video lmao
"Here they go, here they go. No, wait. OK. Here they go. Uh... wait. Now. Here they go, here they go!" And a totally lame vid.
Hey is that you in that gators blank
How on earth was that fatal? Was it a heart attack?
Wait....we're talking about the black car, right?? It looked like he barely touched the wall. Sure he didn't have a med issue after being spun out just before the wall??
suggestion: google a pic of the 33, look at the left rear wheel. You should notice that it is about 10-12 inches deep. From the whiplash from the nose hitting the wall, that wheel was smashed flat against the hub, with zero driver containment on the left side. His medical issue came from helmet contact with steel reinforced concrete.
Woah Woah Woah, is this the old Freedom Factory
turns 1 and 2. The sunset turns
