What A Tomato - TAH #923 - World Finals 2011
Bob Pizza takes home his first World Finals win but loses the prop shaft at 1000 feet. Luckily for Bob the boat didn't crash even though he had no steering. What in the slo-mo when the shaft comes out it folds the rudder back. Bob was just along for the ride at that point.
A wild ride from the late John Hipwell in the famed Madness machine. This was a bit of rough ride right through the lights. I am just wondering how on earth such a small man could support such huge walnuts!
The late Jerry Davis crash at Red Bluff
Jerry Davis wads up his War Party TAF at the 2003 Nitro Nationals in Red Bluff, CA. Jerry actually was not seriously injured and was back at the track just a few hours later. Jerry would go on to build another boat and compete for 6 more years until pancreatic cancer took his life in late 2009.
Problem Child TFH Crash - Red Bluff, CA
Dale Ishimaru saw his last pass in a drag boat on this pass. Apparently a propeller broke on the boat and the boat, turned left and barrell rolled and threw Dale for the ride of his life. Although Dale survived this accident, he suffered a serious back and ankle injuries. Dale hasn't raced since the accident, but I wouldn't etch it in stone that he won't at some time in the future. Dale, we miss you at the races!
