I joined IOW in August of 2012. I have a Word document of all of the races I have attended since 2014. Somewhere in 2012 or 2013 I remember Robert Ballou having a HUGE wreck in Turn 1, resulting in a few flips. If memory serves me correctly (I do not have it in my Word document) I think he clipped the opening in the wall at the pit entrance and Levi Jones may have been involved, but don't quote me on the last part.

Anyways, after bouncing off the fence and flipping a few times, his car was upside down almost at the apex of Turns 1 and 2 and the throttle was hung wide open. No one had any idea what his condition was but one of the track workers/officials immediately shimmied under the car to the cockpit and killed the engine with the kill switch. It was the greatest moment of bravery I have ever seen at a track.

But both of Ballou's rear wheels were turning full blast for about 10-15 seconds. The axle was still in place. Robert was all right.

One could find this incident on IOW if one wishes to search for it. The track worker even responded for I asked how he killed the engine. But it was probably the biggest shunt I have ever seen at Kokomo since going there in 1995 for the first time.
