1999 Calder ATCC

We all remember Craig Lowndes rollover on the Sunday of that round but it was a big weekend for spectacular crashes.

On the Saturday we had this incident in the second last race of the day involving the Formula Ford of Justin Cotter.

Was certainly interesting getting him out of the car on a 45 degree slope while making sure the car didn't slide down the hill any further on us.


And then on the Sunday we had this in the Superbikes.

We were sitting on the back straight on the Sunday and that accident happened right in front of us. We were think the worst when the riders lay motionless for the first few seconds.


Was also at Calder 4 years earlier for this famous Funny Car crash

Excuse the appalling American commentary.

Darren Carters crew cleaned up the chassis, changed the blown rear slicks, threw the body back on and made it to the startline for the final.
From memory though, it would not start.

Yeah I was there for that one as well, so much effort by so many people (not just his crew) and all for nought

I wonder if we should start discussing some of the Thunderdome hits over it's short history......

Probably the biggest air I've seen away from open wheelers in Speedway.

I was in Pit Lane and could see it tumbling over the top of the crowd on the infield not to mention one of the suspension springs ended up in the infield luckily without hitting anything/one in the process.
