Track safety improvement ideas

Considering the speeds and awesome acceleration I think drag racing has a surpring safety record.
When was the last time a fuel funny car driver died ?? Dickie Harrell ??
There are more sportsman drivers dying in accidents that not many people get excited about.It makes me sick that more isn't done at the sportsman level !!
Do you know what you would do if your throttle stuck ?? The track runs out real fast at 120-170 MPH !! Have a plan so it's REACTION not something you have to think about !! A few minutes sitting in your car going over various scenerios could save your life !
I apologize if I upset anyone........
