This is my tribute to all the drivers and officials who died from racing.
Please refrain from making disrespectful comments about these drivers (such as making fun of them, blaming others for the fatalities, etc)
Do not think these drivers are incompetent. Auto racing is not easy, be it stock car (NASCAR, ARCA), Open Wheel (F1, INDY, ChampCar), GT, Rally or Drag. They are all difficult in their own way.
Part II might be a bit rough. I had a problem with my editing software that day.

What editing software did you use?
Adobe Premier Pro CS3
u made an error on 4:41 i see ayrton senna's fatal crash there.
It was a glitch in the video editing software and it was only for a milli second
the spotter was on top of the trailer which only had a clear view of the back straight. and it wasnt her fucking fault. it was actually ARCAs fault for not mandating spotters.
Exactly. I am so sick of the morons that talk about this accident. Any racer or any knowledgeable enthusiast can SEE the truth. Dumbasses say "car before avoided him" similar crap. Can't you see the difference in commitment and line between the two ? If you've ever driven anything like this you would understand. No chance of avoiding this hit. Usual would be to ease hope for enough grip to stroke it left but really no chance here - just too close to avoid.
Can't just steer hard left !
the officials didnt help bc they thot the guy trying to flip the car back over was willaimson but it was really his friend (purley)attempting to save him finally the officials caught on but it wasnt useful. by the time williamsons car fire got put out he was basically a chared skeleton with some areas with skin still on. rip
Earnhards crash was actually quite bad:
When he struck the wall his shoulder harness stopped his torso, but because HANS wasn't used by many drivers his head kept moving forward.
This resulted in his skull and the major arteries going to the brain, being severed from his spine. This is called a Basilar Skull Fracture.
What it also meant was that he would have bleed out only seconds after the impact, if not instantaneous...
So up until then, it wasn't required during practices?
I am not fully versed on the rules but the hook snort of it is that was not required until after the Eric Martin wreck.
