wow..

 

If you start pausing aroudn the :25 sec mark every second, you can see like 2-3 people flying through the air.... then into the wall. Right before the wreck, they're actually in Wheldon's Car cam.

 

R.i.p.

 

R.I.P. Dan Wheldon.......

 

Yea that's sad news. R.I.P

 

Went cockpit first into the wall...... hope he went quick and without pain

 

 

Rip

 

RIP Dan Wheldon....

 

May he rest in peace

 

one of the more gnarly crashes iv'e seen in awhile. @ least he went out doing something he loved. R.I.P.

 

That was insane... especially since they have in car of the whole thing. It's so gnarly it seems like a movie scene. I mean the dude flew like 150-200 yards and then just blew up on the wall. I just hope he went on impact and didn't have to deal with the fire.

Very few people accomplish what he did in their lives. Very full. Very short. RIP Dan. I hope they have race tracks in heaven.

I'm glad he got to share his final night with his family doing something positive and I'm glad he got to die doing what he loves. Sorry his entire family had to watch it happen.





Yet another reason oval races are a stupid part of indy. There is absolutely no reason to run oval races in indy cars. None at all.

 

Ummm, I always thought that "Indy cars" are named after the Indianapolis motor speedway, a track that is... at least more or less-oval.

Now whether or not they should have started 34 cars on a 2.5 mile tri-oval, that might be a subject for further discussion, but I hardly think you could call a series "indy car" if it didn't run on oval tracks for a good portion of the series...
