I don't usually comment on videos but this may be the most exceptional crash compilation I've ever seen. Almost every crash was new, the footage was super high quality, and most didn't have some annoying announcer paired with the clips. Thank you for assembling these!!
Nasty crashes in Australian motorsport I remember some as a Yong teenager growing up in the eraly 90s I hope all the drivers got out without serious injury
I remember when these would come on TV and my grandfather would buy the VHS tape and we’d watch it together on his la Z boy. Times were so much easier back then
I do remember seeing the ads for some of those VHS tapes. One series in particular came flashing back into my mind: "And They Walked Away!". I wonder how many of the drivers and/or spectators in some of these clips didn't though. The Top Fuel dragster where the engine seemed to melt just off the line and sprayed what looked like molten metal everywhere like a fountain was particularly hairy. One thing is for sure, safety has improved by leaps and bounds since the early days. Do some of those racing disciplines even exist any more? Like the motorcycle sidecar racing? A definite mix of good old and bad old days here.
THANK YOU for not making any cringe voice-over for the video ! It feels almost impossible to find any compilation on UA-cam without the person who owns the channel talking pointless crap over it. This was TOP quality, thank you !
I’ve only got to race an Aussie once but man was he cool. He gapped me by probably 2.5 cars but damn it was fun. Much love to the Australian racing scene
1:34 that happened to my great uncle back in the mid to late 1970s, it wasn’t side car racing but it was Super Twin AMA Flat Track, so these are really big bikes, he was ran over 2-3 times on his neck shoulder and head area, he wasn’t as lucky as the guy in the video, he was in a coma for around a month and was left with a traumatic brain injury that mostly paralyzed him from the waist down with limited movement of his arms and hands, his name was Eddie Daley, racing number was 80g & 80m, he raced for K&N, he passed away in 2007
The motorcycle race when they ran the dude over and immediately turned around and checked on him is something missing from sports these days. Very commendable.
that dirt track sidecar racing is intense. i'm off to watch more vids of that series. excellent compilation video. you Australians are crazy! i approve
If anyone was wondering why the track attendants were dousing the driver when he got out,it's because the fuel burns without a visible flame,so the driver may have let them know "Hey ,I might be burning here"
Humans have altered our air. The Temps are rising new record Temps already , and as trees and plants die, we will slowly starve ourselves of oxygen , along with higher Temps will come fires as everything drys out. We are already experiencing this. It's getting worse every year
@@carlstephens1532 WRONG! You are, in FACT, 100% WRONG. There is MORE green growth on the planet now than there was 30 years ago. You bought the CLIMATE CHANGE HYSTERIA narrative. Go watch some TONY HELLER &/or Alex Epstein videos for the TRUTH.
13:08 The reason most American NHRA tracks now have 'catch-fences' at the end of the run-off areas much like what aircraft carriers use to catch planes with foul gear.
I love how those very American-looking Cup cars at 2:10 suddenly morph into something else entirely 😂. Like others have said, this compilation really is exceptional!
I remember that every Friday night my dad would bring me to the local video store, rent some VHS tape and we watch "Havoc" together at night after dinner ☝️😅

Not to mention the annoying music too
Wrong! The horrible Aussie accents ruin it even more!
I agree 👍

I was just thinking that! The old sports bloopers/insane crashes compilations
@@eins2001 exactly! Haha shit was so entertaining
They would have been the "Duke" video "HAVOC " series .
Not for some of those racers!

1:35 These guys didn't hesitate to stop and check on their fellow competitor. Standing ovation for these two.
That side car motorcycle racing looks scary AF.
1:33 lol wonder why
For real
Looks goofy as well, what even is the point of that
@@aleksihiltunen7063 The point is we'll race anything in Australia.
it is a buzz like no other being a passenger is the best thing you get in the zone and nothing else matters
I love sharing old Australasian motorsports movies with the American guys I race with on weekends. Thanks for this :)
As an American I’ve always liked how Aussies enjoy sprint car and drag racing as well.
Had NO idea they ever had an oval track in Melbourne. Wild.
Australasian? Huh is that a new continent
@@drews2444 No, considering they were trying to say Australian, and not the country of Australia.
Like you've never seen a typo, numbnuts.
I’ve only got to race an Aussie once but man was he cool. He gapped me by probably 2.5 cars but damn it was fun. Much love to the Australian racing scene
Love it!!! Some of the best Aussie motor sports I remember from SBS and 7 in the mid 90’s…. Heaven! Thank you 🎉
Yes mate👍
Yeah I remember watching speed week on sbs and seeing the truck racing 🏁
2:09 Little known fact: the circle tracks in Australia flush the opposite way
Top quality 👍🇦🇺
Took me a moment before I read "Melbourne" and figured out where it was and why it hurt my brain a bit to watch...
I didn’t even know the Aussies did oval racing.
Thanks
This exact clip taught me that as a kid seeing it on American tv!
6:30 Did somebody order sparks?! I’m impressed with the full-width track coverage!
I might be wrong, but I think I remember it being a clutch explosion!
ya that was wild,,top fuel cars are like little nukes
If you're gonna go, go big!
@@dirtbag3601yeah
You mean 6:13
8:47 casually pulls front wheels while drifting. Sprint cars are wild
And the cars today are pretty much exactly the same. Those guys are crazy
I’ve seen them ride wheelies down the entire straight and letting off just enough to set it up for the next corner. They’re insane.
900hp go karts, awesome!! 🤙🤙
Funny enough I’m pretty sure that sport split from NASCAR when they went paved
Its crazy you found raw footage like this its actually insanely good quality and most if it is on film cameras too
6:09
That's probably the most spectacular -engine- clutch failure I think I've ever seen.
That was the clutch exploding.
True
It was the clutch exploding. The engine was still running. He shut it down once he noticed the clutch being melted and slung across the USA.
@@TheYamaha37 Hell of a fling from Australia

@@matt_rl6016 circus clown
6:57 Haha, he acts like he says: "Did everyone see that? Because I will NOT be doing it again!"
The Semi racing portion was super cool. From what you could see through the smoke and dust. Being there in person would truly be breathtaking.
Plenty more on our channel if you like that! ua-cam.com/video/YCbF4jODLU4/v-deo.html
6:09 - Holy crap! It's not often I've seen a dragster go up like that. That was pretty cool, actually.
I've never seen one until now
Lithium battery in his earbud.
if I'm not mistaken this was a clutch explosion
@@billmadison2032 Lol?
Yeah love it!
Top notch effort in editing the sprintcar footage together 👏 That onboard is incredible!
Gives a good idea of the chaos in a race
The motorcycle race when they ran the dude over and immediately turned around and checked on him is something missing from sports these days. Very commendable.
Her, actually
I think they are kids?
Actually not important at all, dude is neutral.
If 'bruh' «shudder» is neutral, then 'dude' definitely is, and you could probably make an argument for some uses of 'man' lol
Dude buddy bro guy girl sis sir.
holy crap that onboard sprint car footage is nuts!!
That's one of the funniest edits I've ever seen, it looks like the guy in the yellow suit is going around just murdering everyone
Dam some old gold there.
that dirt track sidecar racing is intense. i'm off to watch more vids of that series. excellent compilation video. you Australians are crazy! i approve
And they don't have brakes, same with the Solos.
3:08 the way the #9 car rolls over nine times and then lands on its side showing #9 is magical
Yeah, but if he was REAL good, he would have went on driving, lol!
Rumor has it - the poo in the driver’s shorts after the crash weighed 9 lbs. 9 oz.!
had to look at comments to make sure I wasn't the only one who noticed this. and you currently have 9 likes on this comment. well done.
i used to have this on dvd, the nostalgia hit is something else i mustve watched this hundreds of times as a kid🤣
Not just me then. I SWEAR I'd seen this exact compilation on a VHS tape when I was a kid. No idea what it was called.
Yet another amazing complilation. Thank you and how good is the human body to survive this stuff!
If anyone was wondering why the track attendants were dousing the driver when he got out,it's because the fuel burns without a visible flame,so the driver may have let them know "Hey ,I might be burning here"
01:42 The guy on the back of the motorcycle coming upon the stopped wreckage YELLS "PHUCK!" His head moves in unison with the audio...
I love the vintage videos from the past.🇺🇸
One of the best compilations I've seen to date
I keep checking Aussie drag racing, but didn't know their NASCAR like events, are only right turns .... that's GREAT!
Remember when we had wide and varied Australian motorsport?
We still do. Just got to know where to look ua-cam.com/video/6Pw7JPOv0qg/v-deo.htmlsi=zVykceLn5uQYGSXc

10:40 amazing that he didn’t get hit by the sprint car. He swerved perfectly
5:40 The yellow outfit was being driven by Shaun Hegarty, I raced against him 'back in the day' 🙂
Proof?
@@Twiggo_The_Foxxo Really? I don't actually care if you believe me or not so you can 'do one'
13:08 The reason most American NHRA tracks now have 'catch-fences' at the end of the run-off areas much like what aircraft carriers use to catch planes with foul gear.
This video is pure art.
15:08 - What the heck does the guy in yellow think he's doing?
His best
Official steam remover
Definitely a reference to Cars
I think you should have mentioned that it was Australian motorsport crashes. Great compilation.
Aussies and Americans have similar tastes in Motorsport. Great footage
Ok i had to stop watching this as it hurts me too much but that little parachute attempt at 6:40 is absolutly hilarious.
Sidecar racing is absolutely mental. I can't believe that is real.
Im sorry but 69 flipping at 5:50 is hilarious. What a number to pick, while on your lid is the funny part!
Back in the day when calder park had massive crowds. Was at the first clip you showed as a kid. Great memories. Thanks for sharing
6:55 he seemed to have been waiting for this moment his whole life
These drivers ran so that drivers today could walk. The technology and safety features have come a long way.
the sidecar at 5:40 Stacey Sellar and passenger Scott Thomson ( Scott is no long with us ) both were great mates
This video quality is so good its almost like these crash scenes were directed by Michael Mann or Joseph Kosinski
Gawd, that semi truck racing is terrifying. I love it!
I almost fell out of my chair trying to watch that ausy nascar going the wrong way around the track !!
Great upload, love the old stuff and cant wait to see more.
I love how those very American-looking Cup cars at 2:10 suddenly morph into something else entirely 😂. Like others have said, this compilation really is exceptional!
Loved the way the footage kept going back to the car as if it was one race! Brilliant!
Ahhhhh good thing I watched this right before track day 😂😂😂
I think I recall hearing that the blue car at 2:40 was the most flips in racing history, at least at the time.
Go watch Rusty Wallace crash at daytona
Ryan Preece Daytona had 12
You see a truck crashing and hear an Aussie accent and Mad Max just pops into my head
It opens your eyes to know just how many types of motorsports there are
13:45 That's a pack a day set of pipes on old mate cameraman.
at first I thought it was a vehicle oh man haha
🤣@@alexrekzu4079
The wolf from The Sword in The Stone. 😀
Aussie racing drivers take it to another level!
I love how the Sprint Car parts are always pure, unadulterated chaos
back when motorsport was worth watching
Those side-car races are so insanely dangerous just at a glance its probably got the most adrenaline inducing challenge for the balancer
I didn't know australia had it's own version of NASCAR
Calder Park Thunder Dome, north Western Melbourne.
In korea, we say this age as "낭만의 시대","The age of chaos and man"
This compilation is EXCELENT!!!
I have made a download. 👍👍👍
Thanks for this compilation.
Lmao it’s wild to see an oval and everyone turning right 😂
Saw the final crash on a Clarkson DVD years ago. Always thought it was fatal.
Walked away!!! Nice surprise.
@12:00 Red T shirt guy on the far left
Good to see some Calder Park clips here 😌
These are awesome because they are not just getting all excited over some spin
lmfao they sprayed him like he was on the damn podium, then the dude with the big ass hose gets him even better
A few of those wrecks were so savage they hurt just to watch.
The old crashes are the most coolest and the most extreme that little kids got trama
RIP Oran Park
Who was that, or what
@@scouttroopergaming One of the circuits in the video was on the outskirts of Sydney Australia. Now a field of McMansions.
It shall live on in iRacing
Those sidecar racers were champs .
Mad Max love it guys. Indeed old school
We used to have the " BIG RIG "150 here in Ontario 🇨🇦 at the old CAYUGA SPEEDWAY. Ahhh the golden days of racing! RIP #3 #RACINGISLIFE🏁
i thought the sprint car montage was in the same race 😂😂😂😂 i was like "what the hell? stop that guy he's doing road rage"
Spectacular action!
Really enjoyed the Midget car montage 👍🏼
This is footage from a vcr I used to watch as a kid called ‘crashes you won’t believe’ so wild to see it with out music or narration!
Those sprint cars are crazy!
When I saw the Australian NASCAR, I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't just watching a NASCAR video mirrored
I was so confused at first then I saw Melbourne on the wall and then I saw the AUSCAR sign
@@TimothyWenger what made me realize it wasn't was that the sponsors are normal and not reversed
6:09
All time most spectacular catastrophic engine failure ever…..Tom
It’s a Clutch Explosion
It’s a Clutch failure
@ ahh..thank you
That first dude is like FFS IM NOT ON FIRE STOP DOUSING ME
After the bike crash, the commentator says, "It's certainly not the way they would like to win this event.". 😅🤣👍
I laughed hard at the second at first, then I clapped at the immediate stop by the other two cycle racers who showed concern for their opponent. Bravo
wow. nearly 60 now I remember a lot of these
how the hell did i not know AUSCAR was a thing, and that they ran THE OTHER DIRECTION lmao thats hilarious
there's not a single sport in the world that Australians can't do better.
Lotta ozzie stacks! I like this a lot!
11:29 supper trucks what an awesome class
Shows how old I am - I have all these on VHS and BETA MAX!😮
a nice aussie compilation
Those diesel truck races look great for the environment 😂🤣
The Greta Thornburg invitational race!
Every truck would belch out such a black cloud of cancer..
It was common.
Consider yourself lucky
@@mortenfrosthansen84 I wish we could go back to the days of fuckin the earth up. Stuff was better.
Some of these Cameramen had balls of steel.
I remember that every Friday night my dad would bring me to the local video store, rent some VHS tape and we watch "Havoc" together at night after dinner ☝️😅
The side cars, now that's what I call short track!
There are many times when videos like these are completely disappointing- NOT this one!!!
We Need Part 2 :)
2:50 ANYONE REMEMBERS THIS SCENE SIMILAR TO THE SCENE IN THE MOVIE CARS ....
6:08 Man them photographers gotta get that shot. Lol
Oval racing going clockwise seems so strange to us here in the states
