We were at SP watching this on Saturday. Jeesh. I remember seeing you with a camcorder on a tripod and guessing you must have caught a good shot of this. Respect for posting. Terrifying incident. So glad Graham survived but gutted that he got so beaten up. Huge respect to all the medical and support staff involved and all the drivers that have the bollocks to do this stuff (especially in greasy windy conditions like on Saturday)
the car didn't veer to the right it was pulling left and wouldn't respond to the steering to the right so I gave it a bit more right hand down and ........
Yes selling dugs and that was his way of paying for his racing career! He went and stayed in hospital after the crash and got caught and found out that he was selling drugs so straight after hospital he got nearly a 30 year prison sentence for selling drugs
Horrible crash!..Here's an excerpt from an article I just read about this crash in case some are wondering about his condition after that; "Ellis was airlifted to a local hospital, and according to unconfirmed reports, was conscious and talking when medical personnel arrived. He reportedly was diagnosed with fractures to his face, neck, and back, among other injuries, and will be kept for observation, but thankfully, is expected to fully recover." Good to know he will recover.Best wishes to him.
Crashed, Survived and still finished the race.
What a boss ;D
10.079s at 29.59MPH! What a beast!

Drag racing ain't cheap!!

You can see it in the air. Cold days are bad news on the top end. Glad the cage did it's job and kept him from major injury.

F*%K these cars are well built, to walk away from that is incredible. But broken eye sockets? OUCH
That's us at the start of the video!!!
anyone know who the cameraman is on this piece of video?
That was a big one. Wowie
get well soon graham .
I was there that day as well, worst thing - he had just sold that car.
Still a better time than a civic
massive crash, best bust out the ed sheeran.
Broken collar bone in two places, broken nose... get well soon Graham :)
Crikey, that all...? Proves it was a well constructed car to jump the wall, & roll numerous times. Love the Pod.
I race there and I've seen sooo many people crash and a quad go over the wall and the quad blew up
That door went extremely high...
Omg was at santa pod watching flame and thunder he was there walking but he said he has bought a new car already he sold his other one all crumpled up
Anyone know if the driver got away okay?
right before the video ends they start playing sad music
going to need a lot of meds for the pain later in life after that...
he broke his neck and arm too.... he is a lil more shook up to be honest
and a bit of Ed Sheeran to claim it down
still a 10 sec pass
lucky to survive really
I've seen that car get out of shape like that before, seemed to always veer off to the right... Hope graham gets better soon.
10-second car
How is that lucky?
I was there

Fucking Hell
I was there and it looked as if he lost grip
Don't worry, drug money will pay for a new one.....oh, wait a minute...Jail time first.🤣

Slowest trap speed ever for a 10 flat run. lol
Can't believe that was 8 years ago.I was on the other side of the track.
