the car didn't veer to the right it was pulling left and wouldn't respond to the steering to the right so I gave it a bit more right hand down and ........
We were at SP watching this on Saturday. Jeesh. I remember seeing you with a camcorder on a tripod and guessing you must have caught a good shot of this. Respect for posting. Terrifying incident. So glad Graham survived but gutted that he got so beaten up. Huge respect to all the medical and support staff involved and all the drivers that have the bollocks to do this stuff (especially in greasy windy conditions like on Saturday)
Horrible crash!..Here's an excerpt from an article I just read about this crash in case some are wondering about his condition after that; "Ellis was airlifted to a local hospital, and according to unconfirmed reports, was conscious and talking when medical personnel arrived. He reportedly was diagnosed with fractures to his face, neck, and back, among other injuries, and will be kept for observation, but thankfully, is expected to fully recover." Good to know he will recover.Best wishes to him.
Yes selling dugs and that was his way of paying for his racing career! He went and stayed in hospital after the crash and got caught and found out that he was selling drugs so straight after hospital he got nearly a 30 year prison sentence for selling drugs
Crashed, Survived and still finished the race.
What a boss ;D
10.079s at 29.59MPH! What a beast!

Drag racing ain't cheap!!

Karma
Get well soon Graham! See you back at the track next year! Faster then ever we hope!
from the LuckyDevil ProMod team!
You can see it in the air. Cold days are bad news on the top end. Glad the cage did it's job and kept him from major injury.
damn!!! that was huuuge!!! kudos to the chassis builders and no doubt to the marshalls and emergency crews too…. glad Graham is ok….
RIP Superbird!!
I was there yesterday and the crash was truly horrific.
Can't believe that was 8 years ago.I was on the other side of the track.
anyone know who the cameraman is on this piece of video?
The Guy in crash was a Drug smuggler to fund his drag racing addiction He got caught with over 3 million pounds worth of drugs
Hi Brahoy. We love this video - may we share it on our social channels with a credit?
TheSportsman yes of course.
And people say how can you go wrong, in a straight line
Get well soon Graham. That bird sure did fly. Speedy recovery xxxx
Why they put A team on straight after the crash too soon

Holy smokes, I hope he's okay.
F*%K these cars are well built, to walk away from that is incredible. But broken eye sockets? OUCH
Wow!! That looks a lot like Tim Tindle's crash at this year's NHRA US Nationals.
get well soon graham .
I race there and I've seen sooo many people crash and a quad go over the wall and the quad blew up
I think "shiiiit" sums it up pretty well!
Still a better time than a civic
That was a big one. Wowie
10.79 @29.59 mph?
Probably a stray part..
How is that lucky?
Why is there no-one there these days?
Post Convid I expect. Back to full capacity now on FIA big meets.
Broken collar bone in two places, broken nose... get well soon Graham :)
Crikey, that all...? Proves it was a well constructed car to jump the wall, & roll numerous times. Love the Pod.
I was there that day as well, worst thing - he had just sold that car.
Omg was at santa pod watching flame and thunder he was there walking but he said he has bought a new car already he sold his other one all crumpled up
That door went extremely high...
still a 10 sec pass
he broke his neck and arm too.... he is a lil more shook up to be honest
massive crash, best bust out the ed sheeran.
right before the video ends they start playing sad music
going to need a lot of meds for the pain later in life after that...
he fractured his neck and his back as well..
and a bit of Ed Sheeran to claim it down
problems with superbird
Thats brutal!
Oops I don't believe he wanted to do that 😃
I've seen that car get out of shape like that before, seemed to always veer off to the right... Hope graham gets better soon.
10-second car
lucky to survive really
I was there
he's by best friends dad
Fucking Hell
I was there and it looked as if he lost grip
Don't worry, drug money will pay for a new one.....oh, wait a minute...Jail time first.🤣
I was there
