[http://www.wmcstations.com/Global/story.asp?S=6668755](http://www.wmcstations.com/Global/story.asp?S=6668755) There is a video clip within that link that shows the actual accident. Just plai stupid to let an all out drag car hit it down a road with no saftey barriers. ---

Thats some dumb shit, i would have enough sense to not stand there and watch that shit with no barriers. That sucks for those people though, I would definatly go after the idiots racing and those responsible for the event. ---

This is America buddy a m e r i c a …its not the people’s fault who where there standing where they knew there wasn’t a guard rail, with race cars burning out which go out of control as often as what? hmmm a lot? No its the drivers fault, its also Henry Ford’s fault for popularizing the automobile, and Sonco’s fault for making race fuel, can we sue Firestone too maybe ? brah- it is sad though ---

Doing even standing burnouts in cars like that with just a tiny little guardrail between the cars and spectators is stupid. Doing one at 80+ should be criminally negligent homicide. You have to wonder if something went wrong with the car though, like the throttle sticking. The guy is an experienced drag racer, you’d think he would have shut it down. Anyone notice in the video when the car blew by that one redneck standing in the middle of the road in his overalls? ---

It was really weird. The guy was supposed to just do a burnout. Didn’t he know he was out of control? It seems like he just kept on it until the car was upside-down. ??? ---

^ Which is why I’m wondering if there was some kind of mechanical failure. I could see if some noob hopped in the car and tried to do a burnout, but this guy is a pro. From what you can see in the vid it looked like the car was still full throttle when it went off. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/7-die-at-car-show-in-memphis/31041.md?page=2)
