It's always wild to me that my videos can bring people who have very close ties to the people affected by the events in my videos. That must have been very tough for your dad to be a part of, and I can't even imagine what he felt like. I appreciate the comment Will, and you sharing this.

Fortunately no one was killed in the Tagliani / Zanardi incident in Germany. However Alex Zanardi suffered severe injuries to his legs. Very sad. The Greg Moore crash is just painful to watch. It was immediately clear that you just watched somebody die.

Thanks to your dad, that he was participating in a day in remember as one of the most significant days in my life until today. It took a big chunk of morale to go to europe for racing after what happened only a few days before.

I appreciate that Jessica. We are getting there!

Yes❤

Agreed

I’ve watched a handful of his videos and now I’m sure he’s the real deal so he got a new sub today!

Steve Olveys book on his time saving lives is a must have for any Indy fan.

Yeah for sure. It's always scary getting up into the catch fence. Both those crashes were featured in the first IndyCar crash video I did a few weeks ago 👍

Indeed, it is very sad. I original had all the information about his bike accident too, but I ended up cutting it out of the final video. I elected to put more emphases on a positive note and highlight his 13 lap return to Germany. Otherwise it was just too depressing.

I remember reading the news when his 2020 accident happened and I was just heartbroken for him.

@@ryansheehan9462 he was then hospitalised in a house fire which destroyed the medical equipment he was relying on while recovering from the hand cycling crash. I’m beginning to think he was destined to become a world dictator in an alternate timeline and there’s a time traveller out there trying to knock him off, because no one can have this much bad luck!

Indycar is my favorite sport. I do like crashes, definitely dont like seeing fatalities as well as with things like wickens and zinnaardi(SIC?) That being aaid its part of the thrill of watching.

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Hell yeah! As always thank you! I got some really good ideas for new videos that may indeed require follow ups.

Thank you very much! I appreciate it.

Absolutely, the tub of the car kinda looked like Greg Moore's car flipping. Amazing she survived. Thank you very much. Super happy to hit 4k. It would be unreal if we can hit 10k this year.

I was at the track when it happened and it was a terrifying wreck, we all thought she was gonna be crippled or worse. It was a huge relief to see her walk away from it. Far and away the scariest crash I've seen there aside from the Spec Miata crash last year, and the Shadow Can Am car blow-over from a few years ago

Where her axel hit the fence was once a station for us marshals with only 4 high gaurdrail .working there for indycar was about as nerve-racking yet adrenaline pumping as it got

@@jamescook9661 I can imagine! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoy the videos.

Thank you Jason. Very much appreciated 👍

I appreciate the comment and support. I do my best to explain everything as well as possible. Glad you enjoy it 👍

I appreciate that. Thank you!

Thank you very much! I'm just doing my best making the content I want to make the best I can. I'm glad people like yourself enjoy it. I appreciate the comment.

@@Demise90Racing youre doing brilliant! 😌 and i appreciate your videos!

Thanks Theodore. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

You're welcome Sean. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you!! Much appreciated 👍

Danny ongais too

Thanks Timothy. I appreciate it 👍

Hahahah it just comes out like that. I need more variety 🤣

Thank Dylan, I appreciate that. But I'm older then you probably think I am lol.

Hahaha thank you 🤘

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it Aaron. I'm glad you enjoy the content!

I'm not sure if I will do another. KZfaq unfortunately does not like these videos and they have been demonetizing them for terms violations which really sucks.

@@Demise90Racing That sucks. Fortunately you have a lot of other great content as well.

I definitely overlooked that one. Thanks for pointing it out.

#1. Geoff Bodine, Daytona 2000. Truck got shredded like cheese in the catch fence.

Trust me, its coming. I could think of 100 NASCAR crashes that would make the cut right off the top of my head.

Is this Salazar the same that got punched by Nelson Piquet?

@@GabrielFujiwara43 Yes, back in the 1980s Salazar in interview mentioend Piquet was the kind of mentor-friend of Salazar back at the time, so they were really close. why I know this? I dont know, i just watching random F1 interviews.

Same here it was shocking to watch his legs flopping around, I’ll never forget it, poor feller

@@deborahchesser7375 Scary for sure. Reminded me of the '73 Indy 500 first lap. Ugly crash at the start of the race with Salt Walther upside down with legs totally exposed, toes face down on the track. That was a terrible year for Indy. Art Pollard gets killed qualifying and after about 3 days of rain delays trying to get the race in, Swede Savage has one of the worst crashes Indy's ever seen. He died a few weeks later in the hospital by a bad blood transfusion if I remember correctly. A worker at the track was also hit by a rescue truck and was killed instantly. Worst year Indy had since the '30's. BTW, I was sitting in the SE Vista in turn two and saw the Stan Fox crash. It was frightening. You knew it was serious as to the amount of time it took to get him out of his car. (sorry, didn't mean to write a book. Indy has been close to me since just a kid when I first saw the time trials in 1959. Rodger Ward won that year. Man I must be getting old......ha.)

I thought wickens was gonna be a huge star he totally impressed me it sucks that he got paralyzed i feel the same as you we got robed of one of the best drivers

As of yesterday, looks like Wickens is looking to return for the 2024 Indy 500!!!!

Me too, as a Canadian racing fan I had been following his career since the days of A1GP and was over the moon when he came to Indycar and was successful. I truly believe he would have been a championship contender

He only shows the non fatal crashes i know some really bad f1 and IndyCar crashes as well

It won't be next unfortunately, but the Miami street race is in the pipeline.

Lady's Stock car...? I'm completely blind or am watching a different video.

You know, after I recorded that I realized what I did there. I debated on re-recording it with a different choice of words but opted to keep it. It is kinda funny, especially since Davey is well now.

From 1911 to 2000, the 230 mph qualifying record at Indy, was eclipsed 3 times.. From 2000 to 2023, it has been eclipsed 7 times.. Try again, remember when... P.S. The fact they were hitting 245 mph, back when YOU were watching, had absolutely nothing to do with YOU... *cue sad Price is Right jingle

I actually originally did have it in the video. He's currently still recovering from the hand bike truck accident that happened a few years ago. I ended up cutting it out to end on a more positive note of him completing the last 13 laps.

That's cool he is your second cousin. But, can you please elaborate on what I may have got incorrect? Instead of just claiming some of what I said is wrong. I want to be as accurate as possible.

Honestly I had that one, but it ended up being the first one to not make the cut.

Many of these older tracks were not designed or built to any particular racing series or vehicle. They have raced everything on wheels at Sears Point. Lots of motorcycles in the 70's.

@@chrisallison4175 That may be true, but I can't think of any sort of racing where a blind spot caused by a steep elevation change, is a good idea.

Unfortunately he was involved in a few. Not always his fault though. But I must say, he has to take a huge responsibility for the Wickens crash. Robert was on the inside all the way down the straight and he didn't leave him room.

Yeah I can agree. Thanks for replying man!

Absolutely. I might be in the minority here, but I think the cars look better with it too.

It is hard to argue against it being the worst crash of all time. But Gordon died instantly. I didn't want to include any fatalities in these videos.

There are lots of worse crashes... Jeff Krosnoff in Toronto, Greg Moore in Fontana, Dan Wheldon in Las Vegas, etc. The reason they were not shown was because the end result was a driver fatality. The video creator chose to not include fatalities in this video. I think that's the right call.

It really is a cursed place. Justin Wilson died there in IndyCar. In NASCAR Bobby Allison's career ended there. Jimmie Johnson hasn't won a points paying race since a wreck there. Several other big accidents over the years involving Dale Earnhardt, Davey Allison, Jeff Gordon, Elliott Sadler, etc. We even have the 8 mile lightning policy in place today because of a fan who was struck and killed there.

Check the body count at Indy if you are so keen in tracking down a scapegoat, for whatever reason you hate the place so much...

@@codymoe4986 haha yeah i bet, with its history, its a graveyard there
