Mallory Park Crashes/Highlights, EMRA, 5/6/22

[@thomasdoran2363]

in the 1st EMRA race of the year meeting back in 1986, in the 250cc production class, i seized an engine throttling off to tip into the lake Esses at the end of the straight (there was no silly chicane then) - probably hitting the deck at about 100-120mph. . . . . i then slid on the wet track at 80mph, then on the wet grass at 60mph and into the tyre wall at about 30mph . . . which practically 'exploded' as they were all filled with that Winters stagnant rain water . . . . never mind the friction burns & road-rash - *I NEARLY DROWNED!* , ha ha ha ha

superb camera work !

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Thanks for your efforts dude. Hope you have had a good Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to seeing your work this year. I'll be at Donington a couple of times this year and Mallory for a bank holiday weekend too hopefully. I'll keep an eye out 👊

Nice compilation you put together.

[@rbr-81racingteam6]

Brill as always.👍

[@danellis1253]

very impressive off the chap at 3:37. Though i imagine the reason he pulled over was to gather his thoughts. Maybe wondering if he has a new seat and new underwear in the van !

[@samconst3851]

Ironically yes this was me, and can confirm it was to see about new boxers and I was winded a little but you know😂

8:11 Looked painful! Lucky that didn't do some serious injury

[@r1richie]

0:40 retirement has not been kind to Rossi.

Got their moneys worth out of that day, kept on their toes lol

[@stevemoult85]

Those highsides out the hairpin are the ones that really hurt

[@PescaraProductions]

Surprising how big a fall you can have at one of the slowest corners in the country

[@stevemoult85]

@@PescaraProductions I remember Dennis Hobbs in the BSB having a highside coming out of the hairpin it happened so fast and the height he got was unreal as stupid as it sounds it's better to have a faster highside than a slow one

[@danellis1253]

CB's playing skittles at the hairpin could have been nasty

[@thomasdoran2363]

There was a very high number of 'Novices Bibs' in this meeting ! . . . or maybe you only seemed to be predominantly capturing 'their' antics on camera

[@danellis1253]

More when its dry out, probably to be expected in such conditions tbf. Entries in general werent too high at this round from what I saw

[@thomasdoran2363]

@@danellis1253 - I understand what your saying Dan, but as an entrant & competitor, you'd be applying to race at a meeting well in advance (probably months!) . . . so you'd no idea of predicting weather conditions upon application - You're right about the low entrants numbers though. In the 80's the grids were *ALWAYS* full (35+ per race), and any late entrants were put on a 'reserve' list, & only being allowed on track to race due to mechanical issues, fall'ers, or no-shows from the punctual, early entrants

Poor grip, a lot going down bolt up right on the brakes
