Jason I do not have data to support the one or two 90 racers killed every year since 1990 but I race across the country and can assure you it is the case. The reason the data is not available is NHRA does not put that kind of info out. They would rather that not be known. Those deaths did not always happen at a National Event or Divisional event but at a smaller track in an et race. Hardly any mention at all of those last 3 deaths in any publication I get. That is why it is not well known.
As far as the comment on passing tech I agree there are some cars at every race National, Divisional, or ET race that should not be down the track. More probably at the ET races at the small tracks.
Example, I was in the tech line close to a car at INDY this year I thought would not pass tech but it did.
It was a roadster with a scoop open on the back with the carb open to the driver which I thought was a NO NO yet it passed.
I just may be getting to old to do this.
