I spoke with good friend Marty Gilmore last night, who is one of the flagmen who was seriously injured at Eldora Speedway back in 1994. It was the first lap of a modified feature and Mark Phlipot got squeezed up into the wall off of turn 4 on the first lap of the feature and climbed the wall and took off airborn hitting the flagstand. Marty and Gib Steinke, the 2nd flagmen were airlifted from the scene and are very fortunate to be here today.
Shortly after the incident back in 1994, Marty asked me to try to find a video of the accident. Back then we found one video that was taken from the grandstand area. Last night he told me there is supposed to be a video that was taken from the pit area. He would like to find a copy of the pit side video.
It's been a long time but you never know, a pit side video may still be out there. If any of you know of one, please let me know and I will hook you up with Marty.
If you know someone that was going to Eldora back then, please help Marty out and see if they would know of any video's.
Thank You
