Thats not true it is on video and I have the tape.
May be it is part of the sport.... just because you do not like it does not make it untrue If John Wolfe does not like my post let him e-mail and I will delete it....

Have you ever watched D.O.'s THRILLS AND SPILLS ???????????

This is not Thrills material, DO has miles of video that includes injury !
I have never heard a lady screaming in a DO video. I am trying to remeber a video that included serious injury in any of his tapes.

I watched John Wolfe drive sprint cars for alot of years ...he drove that car as fast as it would go... Mr. Wolfe is a all time favorite. Please do not say I am offending him..... Now you got me started.... And I do not think he would be to pissed off about my post.

John did return to racing after that crash and won the track championship at Gas City again in 2005.

How do you know about a woman screaming if you have not seen the vidio yourself ??

Chuck, I think the incident you are referring to involved Californian Dennis Rodriguez who was indeed seriously injured and spent a lot of time in a Dayton, OH hospital. It was a CRA eastern tour show. As you suggest, I don't believe Rodriguez ever returned to driving race cars. I heard that his Mom had been writing the checks and quite understandably lost interest in continuing.

I know John Wolfe is a frequent user of this site,and I find it hard to believe that this thread makes him smile? I can't speak to how it makes John feel. But I do know that after this wreck and watching and hearing about what he went through and see him back on the track racing and taking the checkered flag, winning the Gas City 2005 championship sure did put a smile on my face.
