I agree Jim. I still can't understand why these pro teams and even sportsman cars feel a need to have someone stand infront of the car as it's doing a burnout. Do you really plan on changing the trajectory of the car when the wheels are spinning? The pros have to back up anyways, thats when you put them in the groove. NHRA should not allow these people to stand infront of a car like that, itll take one time for someone getting ran over to make that not allowed.
