Man, sorry to hear that... My condolences. AWESOME! Looking forward to new stuff from u, and an answer to the search thingy. Thanks! BTW, any dirt track fans on here? Are there any rules to posting stuff just directly off of YouTube? I'd love to share some of my favorite Sprint Car and other dirt track crash vids I've found... (If anyone is interested, that is) Non Wing DIRT Sprint Cars are the most amazing racing machines in the world!!! lol I drive dirt Super Stocks now, but hopefully soon can get the sponsorship and budget to work into the seat of one of these 1400 lb., 900 HP machines!

One thing that I have wanted to do is make sure that all the videos that I have made and put into threads before I made this thread would be made known to DR members just coming on board

Here is the video and thread I made of the Danny Ongais crash in 1981

How to search this thread for a specific driver or crash

Ok go to Google.com

Copy and paste this site:documentingreality.com indy/formula one: into the search bar

Then type in the name of the crash/driver/race after it is pasted and hit enter

All of the search results for that name will pop up

If you are having any trouble with that try tweaking the words around a little

Still cant find it? Just make a post in this thread and I will give it a try

1983 Fuji GCS

Toru Takahashi and one photographer (some reports say 2 photographers)

This video has rare footage said to have been shot by one of the killed photographers

However its hard to believe as any racing reports coming from the far east at that time were sketchy to say the least

As with other videos I have posted, this combined footage was rare 10+ years ago and was put together by a fellow racing/crash fan a while back

I have a couple more older rare gems that I will upload today, the only problem is that the files are massive. But they are massive because they have extended footage, or alternate angles that make them worth the wait

Quick question and a comment:


Do you have any actual footage of the 1997 Fuji Grand Prix crash? That would be something to behold!

Also, once reoccurring thing I keep noticing about these photos, is how very little protection these drivers have. While the actual cockpit may offer rollcage protection for the drivers, I keep seeing pics (directly after the wreckage comes to a stop or even mid-crash) where the driver's legs are totally exposed and unprotected. Do these cars not afford any type of protection to the driver's lower half? Or is the physics of the crashes themselves simply too much for the that part of the cage to handle?

Amazing stuff. Please keep it coming. o you have any more pics of Cevert?
Many thanks for the posts.
