Very sad news but not surprising considering the speeds and g forces involved in that level of racing

Thats shocking... They should look at designs the F1 cars use to protect their riders but at full noise and will so much power involved it makes you wonder what they could do.

How the fuck can they get sanctioning to run 300+MPH Fuellers on a track with no runoff/kitty litter & a concrete wall at the end? It was just a matter of time before something like that happened. I hope that makes dragracers boycott tracks like that in the future.

Pretty fucking sad. They all pulled up the next morning for racing though! I saw it on Fox. Fucking horrifying crash. But they all know that when they put those straps on it could happen.
