[Don Eckel 111]

In a nutshell, no. We spoke directly to Graham Light shortly after the incident to inquire about any coverage, because in my eyes, I did nothing wrong except put my trust in his worker. His exact words were that it was an "unfortunate racing incident", and that NHRA only provides excess medical coverage if you are injured. What's really unfortunate is that I lost a car, and this probably won't be the last time something like this happens, and its certainly not the first, because of the ineptness of someone at the end of the track. I had a minor incident once before when my chute got caught on a guardrail at a turnoff years ago while 4 workers sat on haybales. Not even so much as a warning from any of them that it had reblossomed and swung around on me.
