Just a real shame to see this happen and cars get wrecked. This happened a few years back with Kara Stine & Another girl in Top Dragster at G-Ville running early in the morning.
Rob, this post should be required reading for race officials. I sometimes feel they don't know how much we have invested in our equipment, not to mention we don't want to die.
