I'll write up my normal race report later, (we got a 7th and 5th) but this is too intense to wait.
Sunday Round 3 AHRMA Willow Springs Corsa MotoClassica SRA-West Round Three Race II start. Footage from onboard the Formula 1 Sidecar of #101 of Sean Bakken.
The flag drops and the race is under way. You can see me on the white Becker on the far left of the screen (note BARF twofinger) momentarily as I take off in the lead and then everything goes sideways.
Sean gets hit by Rick Murray on the LCR from behind forcing Sean into Leon Van Orsdale on the FII sagging Sean's NACA ducting on Leon's exhaust. Rick Murray and Brother Bill shoot up the back of both rigs doing a complete barrel roll landing upside down. Sean's passenger Roger was ejected after being contacted by Rick's LCR and Brother Bill (who you see tumbling in the video) was shot forward in front of the tumbling LCR. Sean had the choice of hitting Brother Bill or running into Rick's LCR and chose to sacrafice his bodywork and nudge Rick's LCR.
Injuries were minimal with only a couple minor broken bones for Brother Bill and Roger despite the violence of the crash. Leon Van Orsdale #291, Sean Bakken #101, Rick Murray #75 were not able to re-grid for the restart due to damage sustained to their sidecars during the incident.

Posters Note: Not a drop of fluid of any kind was spilled on the track or surrounding surface during this entire incident due to the superior safety and fluid containment regulations required by the FIM and ACU for modern sidecar racing.
