Heres a movie of a bad crash from Tony Thornton who continuously rolls his VW a heap of times after going through the traps. He is now the CEO of ANDRA. It also brings back memories of when we (in Australia) used to race at Calder Park and Adelaide International. The other guy in the white monaro is Peter Michaels who my dad, Michael Zotti used to race against in his yellow Holden Camira.

Circuit: The Hockenheim, German Grand Prix circuit.
Year: 1992

Aaron Hambridge Top Alcohol drag race crash -v- Steven Ham - Perth Motorplex 30.01.2010.
Hambridge escaped the accident unharmed after an oil line broke sending oil under the rear tyres. The car wasn't so lucky however and has been temporarily replaced with another chassis.
