Default Touching the car during the burnout. Now o/k?

After watching almost 90 pro stock burnouts this weekend i see it is now o/k to hold a vehicle strait during the burnout. This is a great thing. Now we dont have to worry about going sideways when we come out of the water box. Now if we can just get the rider in the passenger seat rule revised so we can use spotters that would be great.....

since a lot of the water boxes in D1 are worn out with ruts 4" deep
[ Cecil Co, Maple Grove ] This is great news, as a cost saving measure for the tracks not having to replace worn out concrete, I'm sure they'll pass the savings on to the racers.

The chance of getting part of your clothing caught on the wing or something coming off the rear tire is so slim that there is really nothing to worry about. I am sure Rick has already considered this when implementing the new rule.

Good example of keeping the burnout area clear.Atco last year,a T/S car doing a burnout
lost a collector.He ran it over,flattening it into a samuari sword.It hit a spectator standing
off to the side and fileted a spectators leg,then hit another and blasted his knee cap.
BTW,has any body heard how they made out?I know the second victim.
This is a very dangerous sport.

Ed, Are talking about Eddy Goggle Eyes? He got hit by a collector, it mess up his knee, but he said also that when it hit his foot is when it hurt the worse.
