Dorkington Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Indeed... horrible accident. RIP. Also, I want to say... it's amazing that cars can go around the track at 200mph, crash into each other, set on fire... and there was only one death.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I hadn't realized those cars had gotten so small. They look like Go Karts. What do they weigh, like 1200 pounds… and 1000 HP? Those guys are unbelievable. RIP, Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Terrible. Just terrible. It's incredible that this doesn't happen more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Drivers had been concerned about the high speeds at the track, where they were hitting nearly 225 mph during practice. Their concerns became reality when contact on Turn 2 sent cars flying through the air, crashing into each other and into the outside wall and catch fence. I'm not going to say that racing is evil, but there comes a point at which it's too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Great driver and even better person. Amazing that he could not hook up a permanent ride for the season. It will make for a very odd / difficult Indy next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pneumonic Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 These drivers are playing RR each and every time they strap on the helmet and take these cars around the track to race. I'm surprised, but terribly relieved, more deaths don't happen. So sad that a father and husband is killed tragically due to a sporting event.

Peter Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 RIP. He was a very good driver and seemed like a good guy. As a father of two, I feel horrible about this even more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I wouldn't want to sit in the open like that driving at 40 MPH. It's just crazy reading through that story and seeing the only other injury mentioned as a burned finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Duck Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 RIP Dan Wheldon, what a horrible crash I'm glad Danica Patrick is switching over to Nascar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
