Things happen at drag races. That is why we go to them, because they are fast, loud, and dangerous.
What were these morons doing standing beside the road as a Pro Mod drag car was doing burnouts? That was the height of stupid.
Yea Dean good point....we skydive,ride roller coasters and jump off bridges with big rubber bands attached to us....when doing these kinds of events one expects to be in a certain amount of harms way....so is taking a shower I guess too...what are ya gonna do?

Ah oh! Don't let Skybird see this or something. Last I heard, he thinks the Blue ANgels should be banned because they could possibly hurt someone in the crowd!
Next, he will think all racing events should be banned because you could have this happen! :D
I think AL will also be on this bandwagon!

lol, I shouldn't be so heartless, but drag racing is not the safest spectator sport. Esp. out on an open road like this. That is why at an actual track they have these things called retainer walls to keep your Pro-Gas, tube framed, fiberglass bodied, blown, injected, nitro-methane powered, 3500 horsepower, 2003 Monte Carlo from taking out spectators.
Motorsports are dangerous. So is baseball, that is why there are releases on the back of the ticket.
If you are at a motorsport event, pay attention. For God's sake, at a drag race don't stand parallel to the staging pits where a bad scatter shield could lead to you having clutch parts stuck in your forehead, or down the track where a car could get loose at the 1/10 mile mark.
Sit back from the track at a dirt race.
Get a nosebleed seat at a NASCAR or baseball game.
For goodness sakes, pay attention to what the heck is going on!

If you stand next to this guy while he stages, don't be shocked if something bad happens....

The drag car was part of a parade down the street. That's why you see people alongside....obviously the guy driving thought he would be cute and do burnouts and lost control..........should go to jail
