Default Allan Dobson Crash @ the Plex

for those that havent heard Allan Dobson had a big one at the 1000' mark on Saturday night 19/3 the "Green Machine" appears to be totaled, for those that want to see it have a look here

Dobson Crash

download the run, its dial-up friendly


Watch as both cars launch cleanly but then need to be pedalled. Dobbo is on to the back wheel and into the wall, while Bailey rides the back wheels past the camera. The throttle gets stuck in the Greene Machine sending Dobbo on a wild ride as a passenger, he hits the right hand wall again at about 1000' before he manages to hit the fuel shut off but the car still spears across into the other lane and impacts with the opposite wall, setting off a huge fireball that reaches into the middle of the track. The car then bounces off the walls in the braking area with fire and debris all around.
