- Mike Peters and John Redican would get together on the first lap of the B Main during the 1990 CRA Western World at Manzanita Speedway.
Peters would get up into the flagstand.
No one suffered and serious injuries. November 9th 1990.
I grew up at this track, it’s so depressing that it’s gone. Windy McDonald is in my opinion the best announcer in racing
I used to go every Friday night with my Boss Jeffry Ehlers back in the late 80's. He wasn't racing anymore but knew a lot about the sprints. I was bummed when I heard the track got demo'd.
"Windy" McDonald was IMO the very best race announcer in America for many, many years!
He was the greatest in my book as well
He knew those cars were both rolling beforehand and was calling it like an absolute pro.
He has a eagle eye for disaster coming
I really miss Windy.
I remember that night. 8 years old, grew up at that track with Westbay, Carver's, and Madrid's.
Damn. Some lucky guys in this one.
I was there, a very scary moment. I thought the flag man was really hurt at the time. I was very happy to learn he was OK. I loved how the 2nd flagman was able to get the red out in spite of almost having a sprint car for dinner. Always enjoyed Windy also.
Just proves how much of a brass set those guys who are flag men have.
thems tough flagmen thank god they were not hurt none
Wow
I think John Reddican came out the worst of everyone involved as I recall. This happened right in front of me and I was terrified for the flagmen.
