Highlights of MSCS Sprints @ Terre Haute - 5/4/08
 

Hello again race fans,

Highlights of the MSCS Sprint Cars and the grand re-opening of the Terre Haute Action Track are now available at www.millsvideoproductions.com

In the highlights package you will see not only how bad visibility was as the sun began to set in the early evening on Sunday night, but the huge 4 car flip on lap 10 of the feature, as well as the thrilling closing laps battle between Robert Ballou and Jesse Hockett for the win.

If you would like to view the clip without navigating through the front page of my site, you can do so by clicking this link:

Thanks, but that shot was provided by my friend Anne Heckman. Not bad for someone who has shot less than 10 races ever.

If you have a extra camera, I would be willing to man a camera during a race. All I have camera wise is a little hand held hard drive camera that I can place somewhere while I do still photography.

Terrehautian,

I am always looking for shooters who want to join the fray. Contact me and I will gladly put you to work. Slave labor, of course...

Aero,

Yes, it was indeed Chris Nunn at Terre Haute. I just made the mistake of not crediting him, and for that I do apologize. He will be calling live for me at Bloomington, too. It's a pleasure to work with him. He does a great job.

There ya have it.

Dean thank you for letting me call the race for you. Was a definate pleasure working for you. Looking forward to this Friday night, Mother Nature shouldnt be in the house to ruin everything.

Aero, do I ever do anything quietly? lol

Thanks for the higlights Dean was glad to see some more of the race from the camera angle than where we were in the stands a instant classic for the new owners right out of the box.

Thanks for that guys, Really wanted to make it but couldn't.

Is that dust a normal problem at THAT? I remember a TV race a few years back Pletch won that was incredibly dusty. Also that wreck was 15 seconds from first car to last involved. Did you notice the car hitting the roll cage and flipping the first car that came to rest upside down, Back over?

I do believe race cievers or radios could have helped prevent much of this, Im glad it wasn't as bad as it looked.

Thanks again!
Chuck

Chuck, the first car that flipped was Dusty Wright (very apropos name), and the car that came in was Daron Clayton. Daron admitted to me on Monday night at Kelly's that when he came through the dust cloud and had a car parked upside down right in his path that he purposely spun the car sideways so as not to hit Wright's exposed caged with the nose of his car. I do believe Daron's quick thinking probably saved Dusty from serious injury. Daron knows what it's like to be hit with the nose of another car while lying upside down, as he had an incident about 3 years ago at Kokomo in which he was struck by Billy Puterbaugh's car.

I was glad that Bill Rose's car (which is the black car that comes flipping into the screen) did not hit Clayton in the head with the right rear, as it come very close to doing just that. We were also equally as lucky that Kenny Biro (3rd lipping car) did not land on anyone else as he took what appears to be the roughest ride, and that Ricky Williams (4th and final flipping car) didn't either. As bad as that crash was, it could have been so much worse. Fortunately, everybody walked away unscathed, and amazingly, Bill Rose made repairs and came back to an 8th place finish.

I agree that radios would have likely kept the last two cars from piling in, if they had known there were stopped race cars on the cushion in turn 3, but what do you do?
