“Chances are great you will not hear your *engine* rev up or accelerate...”
Yeah, but you mixing apples and door knobs! A Sprint car has no transmission. It’s either hooked up to the wheels, or it ain’t. That fat tire is everything to a Sprint car. It’s your traction, and it’s also your steering. It’s not like your granddad’s Oldsmobile! You unload any engine, and the revs will go up., it’s just not noticeable in a family car, with all sorts of computer controls. In a Sprint car, we’re talking about a powerful engine, hooked up directly to the rear axle. Engine rpms go up when the load is gone. They don’t have to work to pull the load. If your gas pedal got stuck, and you shifted into neutral, your engine will race, and probably blow up under a no load condition!
Trust me they will enhance and slow down the video to the point where they can determine exactly at what point the vehicle accelerated...If it were caused by the body of the victim being ground up and spit out, OK...
Again, I would assume if a professional driver knew he just sent another vehicle out of control, end over end, into the wall or whatever, about 25 seconds later as he passed the collision scene, he would exercise great caution due to the potential of debris, bodies or stalled/stopped vehicles.
No?
Again, based on the video, it appears the victim had a clear view to the suspect vehicle as the was walking towards it pointing at it. It would seem logical if this were the case, the vehicle could also have a forward view of the victim standing there defiantly pointing at him.
Just some thoughts.
