Thats what everyone sees at first

He is taking his pulse on his neck and looking away from Smileys face/head, look at how the good Doctor is "checking" his pulse (he was going through the motions checking it so the crowd would see some sort of effort to check for life, Dr Olvey said as soon as he saw Smileys the top of Smileys head he knew for sure he was dead) the placement looks like his head might be to the side

Look at the pic of Gordy in his racing suit and in your head picture what that would look like if the helmet was ripped from the suit

His fire protected balaclava is a piece of clothing that is a part of not just attached (like his helmet) to his racing suit, so that stayed on for the most part

I am about to post a short video of each angle of how his body ends up in relation to the front axle he is tangled up in

But for now look at this for a while and go through all the possible ways you could be seeing Smileys face, back of the head, right side, left side, front side left front etc etc

Spend a minute on each position, when you see his face it will give you the chills like nobodies business


Again I love Gordon Smiley, no disrespect meant to him or his family at all, I hate to be blunt about stuff like this, but if your not sometimes people will never see what is really in the picture

RIP Gordy

I think I see what your talking about, looks to me to be looking toward medical officer? If Im right ....wow, that is some stomach turning stuff right there...And I work in an operating theatre, trauma doesnt usually effect me.. r.i.p.

Dieter Spoerry's Porsche 908 collided with Jack Brabham's Matra 650 during practice for Le Mans 1970, the Porsche cartwheeling over the barrier landing in a ditch and breaking in two.

Amazingly Dieter walked away, barefooted, as his racing boots had been ripped from his feet.

British driver Richard Robarts drove four GPs for Brabham in 1974 but after losing his drive raced an F2 March in 1976. This is what remains of it after a huge crash at the Vallelunga in Italy.

Sportcar driver Richard Piper was filming some racing scenes for Steve McQueen's 1970 Le Mans film. The Porsche 917 blew a tyre at Arnage, the car broke into two and landed in a ditch with Richard trapped in the wreckage.

Richard lost his lower leg in the crash and if I remember rightly the leg was apputated at the scene. Piper continued a successful career after this terrible accident.

I know that for a guy who hates Nascar, I sure do have tons of amazing footage/pictures that have to be shared as well

I just want to keep it vintage and no Honda Street Racing crap or Dune Biggies out in the desert

So if you have something thats not Indy or F-1 and its 10+ years old then post it

If its really off target then I will just make fun of you. so dont worry

Ok this crash is in my top 10 list of "There is no way in hell either driver survived that!"

This one is up there, the video is shocking

The first picture is so horrifying that you better be sitting down when you look at it
