You mean Le Mans? You weren't going to stay awake for all of it anyway. Watch the Trucks for a couple of hours, or record them.
Oh I'm planning on the former
habit..bad habit in this case
Yeah, but the safety crew couldn’t know that when the yellow came out. I’m not saying they didn’t do their best but maybe a full-time crew as part of the NASCAR officials would be worth looking into.
For what? You want to compare safety records with any racing organization?
Not BS at all. Indycar's safety crew is the best on the planet, and it's because we have the same crew of guys who work every single event and know every driver and their previous injury history compared to NASCAR who just had local guys do it each race. Current NASCAR drivers have commented on how they'd like to see NASCAR adopt an Indycar style safety team and Jimmie Johnson has also said Indycar's safety team and how Indycar does it better. Also, notice how in Indycar when there is a crash the Safety team is moving before the car even stops. Safety crew response time in NASCAR needs to become quicker as they've been lucky at times over the last 5 years or so.
this is exactly what NASCAR needs, I'm quite frankly surprised they don't already have one. I hope they adopt that for next year.
My understanding is NASCAR uses local resources for safety personnel. It seems to me it would be better to have crews that have regular, weekly experience with these types of cars. For example, getting someone out with a broken leg isn't the same as extracting him from a street car.
They use AMR...Who does Indycar use?
Then my understanding is five years out of date. Thanks.
Another thing. They didn't show Hocevar being extracted from his truck. It was the end of the race, time for the networks to move on so nobody knows except people who were there to see how all that went removing a 6'4" driver out of a truck. It probably took awhile.
Generally for something like a broken leg with a conscious patient that does not show signs of further injury there isn't a real rush to remove them from a vehicle. Most patients that are transported for these types of injuries are not even done on an emergency basis
yep. Unless a bone is sticking out with bleeding I doubt they are going to move heaven and earth to get him out. I'm guessing they took him out thru the window. I say that because if they ripped up the truck to get him out, there would probably be a photo somewhere of the carnage
My understanding is also 5 years out too then... thanks for sharing.
...and for all the Racing Forum members that have been anxiously awaiting Jennifer Jo's return, she is a late entry in the 10.
Names, please.
I think Spotter is a huge fan!
Andy has one of her posters
Looks like she's going to have to pick it up to make the show...and for all the Racing Forum members that have been anxiously awaiting Jennifer Jo's return, she is a late entry in the 10.
