I am "immortalized" (kinda) on that website. Follow the link on it
for "Car Crash Videos" which takes you to xwreck.com and the first
sample on that page is of a Viper hitting the Turn 1 drivers side
wall at Phoenix International head-on at 90 mph. I was the Instructor
in the passengers seat of that car.
They must have taken that video off my own website where I have a
much higher resolution version of
it. http://www.microworks.net/dave/viper.html has the video, some
still shots and my incident report as to what the driver did that
caused the accident (downshift from 4th to 2nd at almost 100 mph!)
Another Instructor had a camera crew out at the track that day, on
the roof of the suites at the end of the front straight, they were
experimenting with a High-def camera - which is why the video is in
"wide-screen" format. They focused on the Viper from the moment we
came out of NASCAR 4 all the way down the front straight and into the
wall. You can hear the cameraman say at the end of the clip on my
site that he got the whole thing on tape.
