Topic: Videos of Lemons crashes- who's got 'em?

I'm working on a Jalopnik post that attempts to explain why we're such fun-destroying hardasses when it comes to safety gear. I'd like to put together a video with all the Lemons crashes that were captured by your cameras. Because I'm too lazy to do a jillion searches on YouTube, Vimeo, etc. (and our racers have mostly disregarded the request to include a "24hoursoflemons" tag when they post Lemons videos), please share the URLs of any Lemons crash videos you know of, in the comments below.

Re: Videos of Lemons crashes- who's got 'em?

Jalopnik already has covered the crash and then the roll of the V80lvo, so they are aware of those two.

Crash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT6c3bbOlas

Roll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PviZvh-xZMY

Those aren't my videos, by the way.  The next ones are.

The V80lvo repair where a Datsun (?) truck was used to straighten up things after the crash is here:

Repair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixXls39TtEg

and here

Repair: http://vimeo.com/7804731

I put together a compilation of interesting clips I caught on camera, both from inside the Porsche "Estate" 926 and from track side.  It includes a number of spins, the Porsche driving off track to avoid other cars crashing, the minor crash in T3 involving the Nerd Herd and the red-white-blue Italian car, and some bold passing.  The audio for this is the awards presentation, which I think really shows how much fun the event is.

Re: Videos of Lemons crashes- who's got 'em?

So wish we had a copy of the BMW roll-over from this year's Thunderhill race but it looks like our camera crapped out and munged the file from that stint. If anyone has any cool video recovery/rebuild software let me know because everything I've tried so far hasn't worked.

I have a great one with a rear camera from thunderhill getting rear ended before the race started under full course yellow.  I'll try to edit it out for you wink.

Re: Videos of Lemons crashes- who's got 'em?

I've got a bunch of spins and slides, but no real car-crunching crashes. I'm working on a highlight video as we speak, I don't think I ever want to go through ~10hrs of in-car video ever again, although I'm sure I will.

Who's got the video of the Nemo E30 plowing into the T-bird with the big rat on the roof at CMP? That's a classic!

Was there vid of that somewhere?  I hope you find it...it was a pretty good hit.  Plus the Nemo driver was HOT!  (I love chicks in Nomex!)

What about the prelude that launched off of the BMW tire/wheel that fell off in Houston in Oct 2008?

Here's Adam Lazur's Pandamonium BMW highlight reeel of 2008 Arse-Freeze jackassery. It contains at least one low-speed impact between their Bimmer and the Corvair and the Shark car going 2-wheeling versus a tire barrier

Re: Videos of Lemons crashes- who's got 'em?

Holy shit the driving in that CMP race was Special Ed Class.  Where did that Blue Datsun go? The Nemo E30?  WTF?  Cars seemed to be locking up brakes and sliding everywhere.  Hope everyone was okay.
