Re: NHRA Safety, who are you kidding
Well I can tell you 1st hand that your belts being tight helps you walk away. I had a pretty good one a few years back and walked away. My car was tight and my belts were tight. Nobody needed to tell me....its a personal thing. When I pull up to the water I still occasionally think of that crash. Let's hope none of our friends crash with loose belts and get hurt..... It can happen to you trust me....
We can start by letting them know how we feel.....I think it's an issue for every racer not necessarily NHRA....(kinda like your mom zipping up your coat..do we still need that...ok some of us do....lol)...I will say something to Brad...He's a great kid and I certainly don't want him hurt....
Nobody wants anything bad to happen to anybody...certainly many races are won with tight belts....its not necessary and its way too big of a risk to take....
So we all need to say .....
..."Hey Jackoff...tighten up your belts before we're carrying you around in a box"
