Robby Braunscheidel was trying to keep the leaders of the 1985 WERA GNF A Production Final in sight when it all went wrong. This sequence was excellently captured by the Canon A-1 of Greg Sickmeier. I believe this is the turn four area. The same weekend Sickmeier caught one of the best crash shots ever in the same turn. In this one Braunscheidel lost control of his Yamaha FZ750 and slid at a high rate of speed towards the tire-lined wall. Fortunately he scrubbed off enough speed that he didn’t hit the wall. Robby wasn’t badly hurt, but the same couldn’t be said of his FZ. (Click on photo for larger view)

After looking at this sequence again this just might be the warm-up lap.

I think that indeed might be the warm-up lap. I’m # 31 in the 4th photo cresting the hill completely oblivious to this carnage …. ouch. Meril Moen – A Production & A Superbike winner that day !

Was this before he broke his upper leg bone?
He was pretty fast no doubt.
