before i even looked at the link, i was thinking of that crash. except his was a result of the fire, not failure to deploy the parachute
comment on the article
"Raceway Park needs to be either upgraded BIG TIME or closed! 2 deaths in 2 years is too many in this safety conscious day and age. NHRA changed the rules (again) after Scotty to help prevent unnecessary loss of life, and again, same track takes another innocent life of someone doing what they love "
not happening. its part of the risk of racing. sad, but its life. it wasnt a matter of not enough shut down area. 250mph plus parachutes is easy at E-town. the run off is huge. but no chutes = good luck for most cars. the driver probably had a heartattack or something
