They would of hauled me off to jail because I would've started with the first mother****ing track official and not stopped beating until either the cops showed up or they were all dead.
LAWSUIT!!!!!
Braindead asshole sitting in the firetruck? AN EMPTY TRUCK????
Let me guess, only bandaids in the ambulance because they couldn't afford the defibulator or oxygen?

Again, LAWSUIT!!!

I think it's Shelor Motor mile or something like that owns that track. They are a dealership around Radford Va. that sells about every type car and truck made, american and foreign.
If my memory serves me right, they also sponsored a Pro Stock car not too long ago.

They should close that track after the lawyers get thru with their *****!

Thats very sad to watch, especially when the guy is waving for help that should have already been at the end of the track waiting on him.

Searched and didn't see it discussed previously here, along the same lines, here is video of the "Ambulance" at No Limit Raceway AKA US41 in Indiana.

I guess the only way this will stop is for the racers to personally look these vehicles over at these small time tracks every time they go there, and refuse to race when things like this are found. Then again, there's probably the crowd who will race anyway, because after all this sort of thing could never happen to them.

I believe they sponsor a big "shoe" funny car.

Don't blame the young folks than man the emergency equitment. It starts at the top, with management, training, education and drills on the types of possible incidents that could occur, and I'm sure there are minimum fire/EMS response requirements in place. I would say the management dodged a very big problem (personal injury) in this incident. It will serve as a wake-up to the track staff. Again, it starts at the top for folks that knew....or should have known! I would think that the sanctioning bodies would have a director of safety, and under them someone that would look at all tracks safety programs. I have written several articles on track emergency operations....but they fall on deaf ears. In emergency situations...sometimes you don't get a second chance to get it right! NHRA and IHRA have very good emergency programs at National and Divisonal events. Is a life worth more at one of those? Does'nt that sound kinda stupid.....
