Wow, big credit to the HANS device, and the seat and belts. He bearely moved in the seat throughout the flip, damn good thing him and his team took the time to properly install the seat and belts!
I race sprint cars-Ive ran a few WoO races & Ive won lots of local/regional touring series races. This video is Billy Alley at Knoxville - A GOOD Knoxville motor will cost you MINIMUM 40,000$ - Closer to 50,000$ if its brand new. A new rolling chassis is 25,000$ +/- a few thou $ depending on what you 're-use' from previous cars.As per the other responses,I use a HANS device-It has LITERALLY saved my life multiple times-I wouldnt even do time trials where Im on the track by myself without it.
@Baker9x 10k is an understatement. That's a pretty hard flip and I doubt there's ANYTHING usable off the car other than the motor, seat, and steering wheel. 16-20k is an easy low side estimate.
I can say from experience that it hurts REAL BAD when youre doing over 100 miles an hour and you flip a sprint car. BUT,with that being said,Id MUCH RATHER flip than have a hard crash into the wall or get t-boned by another car, etc. When you flip, the top wing getting crunched absorbs the energy, whereas when you hit the wall, your body absorbs ALL the impact - 9 times outta 10 you get injured FAR WORSE than when you flip (TRUST ME, NEITHER ONE IS MUCH FUN THOUGH HAHA!!)
that announcer sounds like the one in world of outlwas sprint cars the game. only race car drivers can understand what its like,to flip, i have, not as bad though
@brianbora1 He hit the wall in the 2006 Knoxville Nationals. It was Steve King. He was a farmer from Kansas who died doing what he loved. I have other unfortunate news. Jesse Hocket has died. He got electrocuted in his trailer. Unfortunately, since Manzanita closed down, I don't see these cars any more, I'd have to travel to Vegas or CA, but Hocket definitely was one of my favorite drivers.
the driver is lucky there was no fire. the shield did not appear to be locked down when they went green..I have done that before..not smart LOL stops the fog but..
@ThreeRiversRC i agree.....most really good racers just know how to go fast.....no matter What they are driving........but the sprint car guys really get it done along with the flat track motorcycle....riders they both have big balls\
Showed up in my feed after 15 years. Wow. Anyway, this shows how the head was shot forward and this is what kills drivers. The HANS device is to prevent this exact head movement. This would be a great video to use showing the snap effect. Glad he wasn't hurt. Bet his neck hurt like hell later.
@SJplaya11 i dont drive them at the time of the accident we were not running a cull containment seat becuase wich was wrong and your right we need a full comtainment seat and now have one in both cars
It's a good thing that the driver had on a HANS Device because his head was jerking back and foward at a pretty good pace. If Dale Earnhardt had on a HANS Device in the 2001 Daytona 500 he would probably still be racing today.
@jwillracing38 hans devices were not designed for speedway racing unless you have a full wrap around seat because they have no side impact protection that was the words from the doctors after my neighbour had a big crash they said the only thing that saved his neck was the other restraint he had on we have used several and found the leat to be the best
@arizonaresident1 your very correct when you state your putting your life on the line. but any race car driver as myself included know there is a danger everytime you strap yourself in. i thank god have never been in a bad wreck but if i were to die tommorow id wanna die behind the wheel of my car.
I can think of a good handful. They are not as dangerous as they used to be but they are still dangerous. I've seen 2 deaths in person. I drive dirt stock cars and someone I raced againts you probably never heard of died last year when he was trapped in his car when it caught on fire. In 2006 2 people died at Central Arizona Raceway after years of people getting killed or hurt bad until they finally took some of the banking out but now it's closed. People die and you don't hear about it.
@Shane Hennessy is there a written rule that you cant race if you wear glasses? Sorry had to ask that. 2nd i would close my eyes and pray as well... i am out in az and hit up Tucson International Raceway every sat night... love the Outlaws , talk about a bunch who go for the win.... amazing drivers ALL of them, xmod , super late mods, Factory Stock Nascar ALL OF THEM... i wish i could get out there with the hornets just ONCE.. think it would be fun but i would be damn sure to have a hans no matter what.... i broke my damn neck in a bad barrel racing accident ... i wouldnt get in one of those cars NOT ONE , without that xtra safety measure... amazing wreck but awesome driving :) keep it dirty yall
@garf1eld029 amen man. I race USST (united states super trucks) and i piled my truck into the turn 3 wall at about 100mph head on. i had just ordered my hans a week prior to that and was waiting on it but i had to practice so i got to watch my helmet go out the passenger window when i hit. Now i dont get in anything with out my hans on its a highly recommended safety item imo.
@jwillracing38 So youyr saying no matter the division the Hans is a good investment? I want to race Asphalt Street Stocks, but they only require a neck collar.
Most sprint car drivers have a full containment seat and it is not comfortable with a Hans I guess.. I race microsprints and I'm 15 I've never had a Hans or containment seat either
God I was raised around Sprints. My all time favorite driver was Sammy Swindell. Now I'm watching his son race mini's lol I'm only a few days older then Kevin haha. I'm going to the Riverside Race April 4th when the Outlaws are coming to West Memphis baby!
You cant post youtube links in the comments section for some reason, so I cant post links to any of my world of outlaws races or any of my wins, but if you go to the youtube seach bar and enter "Ohsweken Speedway July 11" and then click on the "Corr Pak Sprint Cars A-Main" theres a video of a great race I won 2 or 3 years ago - Im driving the white 77x Maxim Chassis / Gaerte Engines car - I passed for the win coming out of turn 4 on the last lap.
hans devices r crap. i race speedway and no one that ive talk to wont to have 1. it takes 2 people to get u in and 2 people 2 get u out. if theres a fire in the car u cant get out u got to wait till thay come put it out.
@arizonaresident1 I know. I want to be a Late model driver but there is a chance that I'll be walking away from a crash it I race. Some dumbasses thing that racing is a joke but they dont even know anything about racing. It makes me angry seeing comments of racing videos that are bad. How about they get in a car and wreck and see what it's like.
I assumed it was a 410. And I dont know who your engine builders are but you need to find a new one!. My cast iron 358 sprint engine makes 680. And I know many 410's over 800. So yes I DO KNOW MY SHIT WELL!!
The co-announcer for this race is stuck in a wheelchair for life driving one of these cars wrapped in a steel cage with a helmet on. I think he has every right to state how much one of these can get you hurt. These are winged 410 sprint cars, I don't care who you are, you're putting your life on the line driving one of these at a big track like Knoxville. The year after this video was made a driver got killed at this race.
Wow, big credit to the HANS device, and the seat and belts. He bearely moved in the seat throughout the flip, damn good thing him and his team took the time to properly install the seat and belts!

So wish Ralph Sheheen was back announcing sprint car racing alongside with Doty.
Hell no!! That's Billy Alley!! Alley is the greatest thing to come from Nebraska since Joe Saldana.
@Baker9x 10k is an understatement. That's a pretty hard flip and I doubt there's ANYTHING usable off the car other than the motor, seat, and steering wheel. 16-20k is an easy low side estimate.
Good thing Billy has all that money behind him... there's nothing left here!
Glad he was wearing at least some kind of head restraint, and the full containment seat didn't hurt either.
I can say from experience that it hurts REAL BAD when youre doing over 100 miles an hour and you flip a sprint car. BUT,with that being said,Id MUCH RATHER flip than have a hard crash into the wall or get t-boned by another car, etc. When you flip, the top wing getting crunched absorbs the energy, whereas when you hit the wall, your body absorbs ALL the impact - 9 times outta 10 you get injured FAR WORSE than when you flip (TRUST ME, NEITHER ONE IS MUCH FUN THOUGH HAHA!!)
If you can race a sprint car you can probably race anything!
i remember this on speed channel ... makes me want to use an ON-Board on my 360 nonwing sprint.
🤣
Racing motorsports can be very dangerous, especially this crash.
great shot and video!
the video just about tells it all?
Rock and Roll Billy Ally Baby!
that announcer sounds like the one in world of outlwas sprint cars the game.
only race car drivers can understand what its like,to flip, i have, not as bad though
@brianbora1

@mitchtavio nah if you look at the belts under his seatbelt he is using a hutchins but that quick jerking is the hutchins pulling him back
the driver is lucky there was no fire. the shield did not appear to be locked down when they went green..I have done that before..not smart LOL stops the fog but..
These cars new and complete are about 75 grand with the 20 thousand dollar motor, that damaged probably junked the motor, all wings, both axles, ect.
@ThreeRiversRC i agree.....most really good racers just know how to go fast.....no matter What they are driving........but the sprint car guys really get it done along with the flat track motorcycle....riders they both have big balls\

@SJplaya11 i dont drive them at the time of the accident we were not running a cull containment seat becuase wich was wrong and your right we need a full comtainment seat and now have one in both cars
I noticed that you recorded this off your tv. Did you just use a regular camera? If you did how did you get the audio so well?
@jwillracing38 I agree 100 %
I also race 600's on a quarter mile. It took one wreck to tell my dad to get rid of the neck brace and get a HANS.
It's a good thing that the driver had on a HANS Device because his head was jerking back and foward at a pretty good pace. If Dale Earnhardt had on a HANS Device in the 2001 Daytona 500 he would probably still be racing today.
In world of outlaws, it's a 410 obligatory and it's give up to 850 hp, and at the back it about 800hp.
@jwillracing38 hans devices were not designed for speedway racing unless you have a full wrap around seat because they have no side impact protection that was the words from the doctors after my neighbour had a big crash they said the only thing that saved his neck was the other restraint he had on we have used several and found the leat to be the best
This film actually makes me want to do sprint cars even more.
No, they said Billy Alley, the person who WON, not the person who flipped.
@arizonaresident1 your very correct when you state your putting your life on the line. but any race car driver as myself included know there is a danger everytime you strap yourself in. i thank god have never been in a bad wreck but if i were to die tommorow id wanna die behind the wheel of my car.
@jwillracing38 Is he using a HANS device? His head is doing a lot of quick jerking.
brutal whiplash other than that looks alright
cool
there would be hardly any deaths on roads if cars had roll cages like that
I can think of a good handful. They are not as dangerous as they used to be but they are still dangerous. I've seen 2 deaths in person. I drive dirt stock cars and someone I raced againts you probably never heard of died last year when he was trapped in his car when it caught on fire.

fun! my neighbor was a sprint car driver. whats this show called?
@garf1eld029 amen man. I race USST (united states super trucks) and i piled my truck into the turn 3 wall at about 100mph head on. i had just ordered my hans a week prior to that and was waiting on it but i had to practice so i got to watch my helmet go out the passenger window when i hit.

Dude that is my uncle
@jwillracing38 So youyr saying no matter the division the Hans is a good investment? I want to race Asphalt Street Stocks, but they only require a neck collar.
do they use the HANS device in sprint car yet?...cause this guy is lucky to be OK
Workin Woody to the rescue.
id have my eyes closed just like him and praying for the best
i like puppies
that had to hurt like hell
@garf1eld029 Yeah I guess you guys have a point on that one. Especially considering a driver just died here in Indiana last week.
being a motorcycle racer, i always laugh at car race announcers exclaiming about how much it sucked. he is wrapped in a steal cage with a helmet on!
he probably burnt it to a dvd
Thats nothing, i was there one year at the nationals when a guy cleared the turn 3 fence
Most sprint car drivers have a full containment seat and it is not comfortable with a Hans I guess.. I race microsprints and I'm 15 I've never had a Hans or containment seat either
no its not dave blaney! he races in nascar,duh
I crashed hard enough for my face shield to flip up hard enough to break the hinges off. That was only one impact. This looks way worse with several.
@arizonaresident1 how did he die?
You flip it back down in case of fire or any spills.
ooooh. he doesn't look happy...
If I'm not mistaken this race wad before they had the Hans device
He didn't have a hans on you'd be able to see the bolts on the helmet and the hans itself under the belts
i want to be a sprint car driver
Of course he has Hans on its illegal for you to race without it in the Sprint Cars. Thouse things go 140 Mph
lucky man................
Honey do a search for wild ride in a sprint car. Billy Alley
wow...
God I was raised around Sprints. My all time favorite driver was Sammy Swindell. Now I'm watching his son race mini's lol I'm only a few days older then Kevin haha.
I'm going to the Riverside Race April 4th when the Outlaws are coming to West Memphis baby!
That I believe was my brother Kyle Larson.
no head and neck restraint on.....not smart hes lucky he didnt brake his neck in a wreck like that
@jwillracing38 i fell you i race 305 sprints and mod lites, hans are the main things that will save you
If he had the Hans on his head would not be bouncing around so much
lol jk im not Laron's brother, but i do thnk thats larson
does anyone know what type of camera they use for in car cameras? i want to put one in my car but i dont want a peice of crap

@ryantmns29

Hey honey search wild ride in a sprint car. My friend Billy Alley
He used a tivo
@Samkruse What the?

You mean 0:29
Eric Monaco Damn I was way off 10 years ago! Wtf! Lol
hans devices r crap. i race speedway and no one that ive talk to wont to have 1. it takes 2 people to get u in and 2 people 2 get u out. if theres a fire in the car u cant get out u got to wait till thay come put it out.
Jerry Richert Jr. ?
SprintCarz7 no it’s Tony Wilkerson I live with him
1c midget driver chad mcdanials may u rest in peace & run WIDE open on the big circle track in the sky!!!!! i was at the race he died at
#RIPHANSDIVICE
@arizonaresident1 I know. I want to be a Late model driver but there is a chance that I'll be walking away from a crash it I race.
