In the annals of NASCAR, there is no name more familiar to non-NASCAR fans or beloved to those who follow stock car racing (myself included). As I mentioned ...
Richard Petty's 1988 Daytona 500 Flip LIVE
In the first NASCAR race using restrictor plates, Richard "The King" Petty Gets turned and flips wildly off turn four at the Daytona International Speedway. This is ...
+Wayne Swisher They need to get something going. Like a few test runs. Maybe some test dummies or simulations without restrictor plates. See if it is safe this way. Just get a group of about 10 or 15 cars out there without restrictor plates. See how well they do. No fans in the stands. Drivers wearing safety equipment. test the physics etc.Need some aggressive driving as well as normal driving etc. (a few tests) I agree that it might be time to get rid of those restrictor plates.
+Wayne Swisher Might be a good idea; the cars may be better spread out. So lesser accidents.But the speeds would be very fast. If there WERE accidents it would be harder to keep the cars on the ground. Safety has improved these days. There are pros and cons etc
+Wayne Swisher a little more safer these days. so i would say it might be a good experiment. but you got to remember Austin Dillon last Daytona night. so alernatively it could be a bad idea
I remember this one. I was flipping through channels on cable TV when I
ended up catching the very end of this accident, just as his car had come
back down on the track and was hit. I was pretty sure he had been fatally
injured at the time. I think a lot of other people were probably fearing
the worst, but not saying it at the time.
(Supposedly when Linda Petty first saw him at the track hospital, her first
words to him were "Are we having fun yet!?" )
He had worst, 1970, Richmond international he smashed the inside wall and seconds after rolled with tremendous amounts of force. It had looked like he was being ripped apart inside
These cars are engineered to survive small collisions and to dissipate the
physical forces of a catastrophic collision (which is why they fly apart).
Earnhardt hit the wall in such a way that the force wasn't dissipated, and
in such a way that he was at a kind of focal point in the transmission of
force through the car's frame. Total freak occurrence.
How would a restrictor plate have made any difference in this specific
crash? Petty's car is sliding sideways when it leaves the pavement. Had it
had roof flaps, the car wouldl not have become airborne. The restrictor
plates, at the time, were a concession to insurance companies who carried
the liability for the track owners.
Joe Weatherly was killed when his head hit the at Riverside in '64, that
was before window nets. As for Dale's wreck, some says its the way he sat
in the car and equipment failure due to improper instalment. In Petty's
crash his car keep moving and absorbing the impacts, he walked away with a
injured ankle.
@mojorisinatl LOL...yeah behind Earnhardt and Pearson. Easy to win 200
races when you race 5 times a week against local talent and local money and
everywhere you go gets counted as a win. If Earnhardt was doing Nascar then
and like that he would have won over 1000 races and 20 cups.
Petty...King...LOL.
Physics is the answer. With every barrel roll, the car absorbs more of the
pressure of the wreck. But in Earnhardt's case, he plowed head-on into the
wall, resulting in the occupant(Dale Earnhardt Sr.) to absorb all of the
impact, putting him in a state of shock, killing him instantly.
@GFORCEpackattack Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one
gets full first. Oh, that's right.....you already do that on a daily basis.
But you like to take it a step further....you lick your hand clean and kiss
your mom afterwards. Anything else?
u dont see wrecks like this anymore that much thinks to nascars fucking
modernization......too many rules nowaday now they dont wreck as much and
it gets boring. When carl edwards hit the wall at telladega.....and brad
also, now that was cool.
@GFORCEpackattack Hahahaha.......I called that number and it's your mom's
business. I already got her 1-800-4awhore phone number, so no need to
supply that one. "you a asshole." Hahahahaha LOL @ the extra chromosome boy
GFORCEcrackattack.
tell me this, you ever wonder why no one really excepts you in to society
maybe its beacuse you were adopted or dropped on your head repeatedly on
purpose and one thing id like to know is how did you manage to escape from
the test tube?
i am glad Dick Petty was a MAN, not like that scrap chicken Dale E. in that
crap number 3 car who looked liked he was parking that piece of shit car of
his at the Walmart! Dick Petty knew how to wreck it and walk away. He is
the MAN!
You will never see a crash like this in NASCAR again. The reason: roof
flaps. They were designed to foul a car's aerodynamics and prevent it from
leaving the pavement. You always see them deploy whenever a car goes into a
spin.
@GFORCEpackattack "really you a asshole" Now now now......don't get all mad
because I am your mom's sugar daddy. She likes to hold it between her cheek
and gum and she calls me "The Bandit." Badabing!!!!!.
@GFORCEpackattack Did you ever get over that problem you had of farting in
the tub and eating the bubbles? You mom told me about it and I was just
curious. See ya' in the funny papers. Jughead.
hey sonar1981: or it could be that you write except instead of accept...
retards never know they're retards though. they just going on using up all
the good air. kinda like you.
How about when Richard Petty killed a spectator in a drag race he crashed
in 1965 and never paid the damages and constantly denied doing it? What a
classy guy he was.
