Jaw dropping footage of Grebeck crash

StangFlyer · 03-09-2002, 12:02 AM

The Mustang Works has received a video with footage shot track side, right at the point where Steve Grebeck's Pro 5.0 car collides with Bill Rimmer's Pro 5.0 car during the Spring Break Shootout from one of the spectators. The footage is absolutely jaw dropping.

Quote:

Note: Although we realize that this footage may be of a sensitive nature to those directly effected by this tragedy and we are sensitive to the family of Steve Grebeck, we have decided to post it in a factual and tasteful manner. This is because it is part of the news of what happened and we know that the bulk of our readership will want to see what happened visually. Viewing this is at your own choice.

You can view the footage in the following formats, encoded in high quality (they are also available in the Media Center in the "Movies : Drag Racing" category):

3.3 MB Real Video Clip (HQ)
10.3 MB MPEG Clip (HQ)

.......My heart felt condolences go out to the Grebeck familey...

Rebel79 · 03-09-2002, 06:23 AM

I can't believe what I just saw! I don't even want to imagine what was going through Steve's mind as this was occuring. How sadening.

I went to the funeral home last night. It tore at my heart for anyone losing a family member. Especially when someone so young that went to highschool with my wife...

On the brighter side, there were TONS of people ther showing their respects, and put a smile on my face to see so many racing jerseys (not black suits)

That, and the walls were filled with posterboards of photos of all the cars and events and friends that everyone will miss.

Condolences to the family.

God that was startling. My heart goes out to his family. That was definitley some scary stuff.

My deepest condolences go out to the Grebeck family.
