Bryan Clauson is currently in hospital in a serious condition

Dangerous mother *ers them speed cars.
I was at speedway city the night Phil Hereen became a paraplegic, only about 20m away, his roll cage punched through the soft clay that had built up between the fences.

Hopefully Brian makes a fast recovery. Thoughts are with BC, his family and the other driver involved in the accident. That accident reminds me a bit of Page Jones accident. We can only hope that his injury is not as severe as Jones' was.

It is probably appropriate to take the video out of this thread.

RIP Bryan Clauson

[FR0GGY]

What was going on there?

 

[Stemp Fester]

If you watch it on youtube there's a full description of the event from the pilot... in short his engine stalled on the 'grid', as the planes are taildraggers pilot behind (who obviously didn't get the red flag signal) couldn't see the one in front and runs into him.
