Paul Dana's Fatal Crash @ Homestead

Dead has always poleposition! And all of the drivers accept the risk of racing!

they do it for the adrenaline and fun. They dont think about crashing till its too late, but yeah your right, they shouldnt be doing it in the first place, u dont need to be going 200mph to get adrenaline pumpin

It is still not known why Paul decided to not let off the gas, The Yellow flags were waved (danger on track ahead) which means all drivers must slow down and must not overtake any other car who you were previously racing. The flags were out for at least 3 seconds, i know that doesn't sound like a lot to you non-racers, but for people like us who race for a living, that is a mighty long time when your in them cars travelling at 180mph . I just hope this is a lesson for every single knuckle head who sees people racing on tv and think its easy, they take their road car, o way to fast and end up killing either themselves or someone else. RIP Paul Dana and also RIP Jorg Bastuck who died in the same week as Paul at the Catalunya Rally. I'd like to make a request to Metacafe to please remove this crash because i believe it is an insult to the repect Racing drivers earn by putting their lives on the line to have Paul's death watched again and again by someone who's watching it for enjoyment. Thank you

He is right this is very disrespectful and should be taken off.

was the one that was the car that came flying in and hit Carpenter after Carpenter hit the wall.

by 3rd strongest mean.. in terms of economy and its usefullness to the rest of the world..
i live in PA and i have seen about 14 schools till now who have Hindi as one of the elective languages.. (strategic language)

That is why it is getting so much publicity, people die in the states everyday also, but no one hears about it. Let me guess your from India, how the F**k could I have guessed that.

India is or never was an underdeveloped country.. it has the world's third best economy.. dude if u have to provide such examples dont use countries.. u might offend a few people here!

I agree India is not a under developed country. But if its the 3rd best (i assume you mean strongest) why is it not in the G8 (the worlds 8 strongest economys)

What the world has become is intergrated, and is getting more so every day. Soon, as soon as something happens in the world that new agencies tag with words that match your personal interests, your personal communicator will grab it off the global network and store it for you, and send you an alert that new content has arrived.

Personal communicators will soon be like a TiVo for news, weather, songs, video, stock prices, friends coming into range, anything. Give it 5 years, that will be available. Get used to it, or go retire to a ranch in Wyoming.

the other driver was taken to the hospital but did not die.

Its in the news. The guy in the car that got hit "Paul", died!

paul was the car that hit late. Ed Carpenter was the first car that spun and got hit by Dana @ around 175mph or so. Ed came out of the hospital yesterday. The word so far is that Dana had problems steering the car because he ran over some debris. But its very true that Paul should not of have been going so fast. The spotter did tell him that there was a wreck ahead and Paul simply didn't slow down and we will never know why he didn't.

Driving at thoes rates of speed, it is difficult for a driver to just slam on the brakes and still have control of the car. He most likely was told to go low, as the other cars before him did, and unfortunately the other car involved just slid down the track. If he had just slammed on the brakes, he might have lost control and hit the wall himself, but he was probally just thinking that it was yet another wreck and could just let off the accelerator and slide past it. It is, and sadly enough, just an accident. There were many factors that led to it, but I think that even veterans still have this happen to them...
