Hello fellow race fans,
People have been clamoring all week to see it, and I have finally uploaded the video from Saturday night's nasty crash at Tulare involving Jonathan Allard and Tim Shaffer. Sorry for the delay, but I did not feel it proper to put up this clip until both drivers were released from the hospital, I consulted with the World of Outlaws, as well as Jonathan Allard regarding it. When Jon asked me to post it, I started working on it.
Usually I am not a big fan of putting up videos of "crashes" (unlike most video guys, I am not an "ambulance chaser"), but there was a specific request (many, actually) to post this. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0nU7-MC87s
As I stated on YouTube:
This video is not intended to glorify this crash, but is a testament to the advancements in safety in sprint car racing. Both drivers managed to walk away, and after being hospitalized for observation, both were released with a clean bill of health. Jonathan Allard credits Bell Safety Equipment and Butler Built Seat Systems for keeping him safe in this brutal accident.
There ya go, folks.

Good work Dean. Jon was on the news in Chico last night helping with a promo story about the Mini Gold Cup. He seems to be fine. The whole package of safety equipment worked perfectly. I noticed TK and BK in the picture there to help shortly after the cars came to rest.
