I'm posting this for a friend of mine. Hoping that maybe someone may be able to help.
****************************************************************************
I spoke with good friend Marty Gilmore last night, who is one of the
flagmen who was seriously injured at Eldora Speedway back in 1994. It was the
first lap of a modified feature and Mark Phlipot got squeezed up into the wall
off of turn 4 on the first lap of the feature and climbed the wall and took off
airborn hitting the flagstand. Marty and Gib Steinke, the 2nd flagmen were
airlifted from the scene and are very fortunate to be here today.
Shortly
after the incident back in 1994, Marty asked me to try to find a video of the
accident. Back then we found one video that was taken from the grandstand area.
Last night he told me there is supposed to be a video that was taken from the
pit area. He would like to find a copy of the pit side video.
It's been
a long time but you never know, a pit side video may still be out there. If any
of you know of one, please let me know and I will hook you up with Marty.
If you know someone that was going to Eldora back then, please help
Marty out and see if they would know of any video's.
Thank You
