WTF were they thinking?

Post #287,173 by drewk 6/17/07 7:38:40 PM Reply	WTF were they thinking? Burnouts along a parade route? Or was the crowd along the sides of the track? Can't tell from the story. Either way, you don't light 'em up with nothing but a guardrail between you and people. === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Of course, they don't show much of it, but it looks like the driver was doing something very stupid.

Well, for one the NHRA and the IHRA (and other racing associations or race governing bodies). They have a set-back policy and require concrete barriers and additional guardrails with 6-8ft fencing at the setback. It is amazing that NOBODY thought about this given the HORRIFIC accidents and fire and blow-ups the Drag Racing has seen _DURING_ burnouts. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`
