Ouch. Pace car probably should've NOT turned out like that but accelerated along the wall then pulled out. Leader probably should've, I dunno, braked?

If you watch the slow motion he is hard on the brakes and going to the outside...don't know if there was much he could have done. That stupid safety car was just toodling across the track. That's my take on it, at least.

Curious to know who was responsible for the spin near the beginning of the vid. The guy who was trying to pass on the inside or the guy he pushed into a spin.

Harry Hogge: All right. While we're still under a caution, I want you to go back out on that track and hit the pace car.
Cole Trickle: Hit the pace car?
Harry Hogge: Hit the pace car.
Cole Trickle: What for?
Harry Hogge: Because you've hit every other goddamned thing out there, I want you to be perfect.

I agree that the pace car should not have pulled out in front of a corner like that. I'm surprised they didn't have a corner worker to tell him when it was safe to pull out.

I doubt the leader had time to react.

The organizers probably should have put pit-out somewhere other than the exit of a blind corner. The safety car driver probably also should have known to stay on the inside of said corner. Dunno if it could have accelerated, it is the reasonably priced car after all :v:

Pau and Monaco are both retarded, unsafe tracks that are only used because of tradition. At least Pau has passing (probably only because they race cars with enclosed bodywork there), can't say the same for Monaco where qualifying is the race and the feature on Sunday is a 100 minute parade of noisy cars.

I forgot about this vid. Here's a pretty bad northeast big block modified crash from a while back, at Fonda speedway.

Most people assume that dirt cars like this are safe, compared to sprint cars and midgets. They are generally more stable and less prone to rollovers, but when they do go over, holy poo poo. This one is a bit more violent than normal.

Also note how ridiculously bad the safety workers are.

- Intimate knowledge of car components
- Makes car noises to help diagnose problems
- Mentions "Redneck" techniques which can save money in the short term
- Positions the camera too close to his face at a weird angle
- Has a cat overseer

Breaks down Toyota, GM and Ford starter motors and explains almost every possible problem and makes it painfully easy to understand.
