If you are tired of the gore and scenes of the crash but want to better understand what caused this accident, then you'll find this video interesting. It is filmed in HD. It starts out on the ramp at engine start and follows through the beginning of the race. It focuses on the Ghost as it entered that final pylon. After viewing in normal speed it shows the upset event in slow motion. Some have speculated that the first in the string of events was the tail wheel dropping out in the high G turn. I can't be certain but it sure came out early. You can see the trim tab hanging loose and then falling away. Watching the prop in slow motion you can tell it has slowed considerably as the airplane climbed causing the airplane to slow (which caused it to fall out of the top of the barrel roll). Again, this video does not show the actual crash or the events that followed.
