I got to see him n Houston. He was friendly and easy to talk to. He answered questions and I became a big fan of his and his loss is hard to get around and he will be forever missed!!! R.I.P. Gregg!
Thanks for uploading this. Greg Moore was my childhood hero. My dad took me to see him race twice at the Molson Indy Vancouver in 97 and 98 and I watched all of his races on TV. I still clearly remember coming home after trick or treating that day and finding out that he had died and I was beside myself in complete disbelief. I would have been 11 years old.
I was helping my sister at her house by handing out candy so she can take her youngsters out to trick or treat.....running back and forth from the door to the TV I wondered why there was stop to the race and then eventually the sad news came...
First time I have heard about the tire going down but it lines up with the picture i saw years ago of the skid marks off of Turn 2. Greg was one of the brightest stars in CART, and I do think that with Penske he would have won the 2000 and 2001 titles, he had the raw talent to do so and with Penske's advantage in 2000, 2001 (unfair or not) he would have had the raw talent to challenge week in, week out for wins, and then over in the IRL I believe fully he would have parlayed his fearlesss oval style into being in contention every year at the Indy 500. I could see him in a Hinchcliffe-esque role as a TV personality now after his driving career ended, and that hurts to know we will never ever know how good Greg wasrwas
I was on the grassy hill going down to the hard right at the end of the straight in Toronto, I was 11 years old when Krosnoff was killed I had just become an CART fan. It was crazy Debris everywhere.
I was living in Vancouver during Greg's rise to the auto racing big leagues, and I well remember how destroyed that whole town was when the news broke of his death. It just seemed unreal even considering the inherit danger of the sport. I'd never actually met Greg, but one minor tidbit from either '98 - or maybe it was '97: One Sunny afternoon I was driving through eastern Coquitlam when I noticed a black Hummer H1 in the opposing traffic lanes. About 20 minutes later I saw it again going past me in the opposite direction, this time in Port Moody. (Maple Ridge is about ten minutes east of both of those Vancouver-area cities). At that point I'd rarely seen a Hummer H1 in the wild, and I mentioned it to a girlfriend later that day. Her response? "That was Greg Moore! He has a black Hummer".
It was his last race with Players. He was off to Penske in 2000. As he had passed Helio Castroneves was his replacement. Helio is a great guy and has won 4 Indy 500's. But sorry, Greg would've won 8. There was no comparison
Steve Olvey/Terry Trammell both did a lot for motorsport but their legacy will forever be the decision to let Greg race. I will never care for Halloween ever again because that's when Greg was lost.
His smile is never forgotten

Seeing PT emotional is tough. He's usually so stoic.
I recall myself crying at that point.
PT's last ever race was Dan's death. He saw it all.

Andrian Fernandez won this race and also won the 1996 Molson Indy of Toronto when Jeff Krosnoff was killed.
It was also Adrian's tire that killed three fans when Greg won Michigan in '98
what a tragedy faith man@@mikea3273

I will never get over this one.
Happy birthday, Greg.

Agree totally!
Man, you can see Greg's arms flailing around as the car rolled over and over..... I remember seeing this crash live
Saw it live. It was brutal.
😢R.I.P. Greg Moore. 😢

This is sad ;c
Didn’t another driver have a crash at the same place in the same race just before Moore's fatal crash??
Richie Hearn early in the race....

Yes, Richie Hearn. I've always thought Greg lost control due to turbulence and not the damaged hand. 23:43
He really shouldn't have raced with that hand injury, Sid Watkins would not have let him race. RIP Greg.
Olvey made a grave error
It wasn’t the hand. It was the fact Fontana track had grass instead of pavement in that area of the track.
@@taylorsmith9629and also, sure, the turbulence
Steve Olvey will carry that regret for the rest of his life
Where's the tire walls? How could they have a exposed concrete wall like that. Like Verstappen at Silverstone, Verstappen would have been killed too
