More Views of Doug Peterson's SCCA Crash

The crash from almost every angle.

Last week we showed you the on-board camera footage of Doug Peterson's crash at the SCCA Chicago Region's June Sprints at Road America. Now we have the crash from almost every angle.


Peterson, who wasn't injured in the crash, makes a move to the right as a car slows suddenly in front and is hit from behind. The slowed car gets pushed to the right and the tires connect. After that, chaos ensues.


This video provides several views from different on-board cameras, which better show the speed and scope of the accident. Peterson easily slides a few hundred feet before stopping upside down.


Thankfully, he exits car immediately as we see liquid dripping under the car. Thanks to Beau Borders, Borders Racing driver, for the edited video.

Doug, You are one lucky guy!!!! I have been on my head a few times (formula ford, foumula atlantic, karts & moto cross) had your head hit the concrete wall it could have been real bad, however if your head would have gotten caught between the concrete wall and the old armco I hate to think of the result. I love Road America as I am racer and a resident of Wi, The safety of the track has come a long way since I started racing there in the 70s. But there are still some areas of the track that need to be looked at and that is most certainly one of them. I have a couple of helmets that look like yours in a trophy case, they are trophys to me because they did their job. My thanks to Bell and Bill Simpson. I wish you great sucess in your racing future!
