Re: Not class racer but drag racing news
Prayers for everyone involved in this accident. The car is a 57 Chevy that has run 6.90s at over 200 MPH....

Re: Not class racer but drag racing news
This is a curiosity question. Has anyone heard anything about this incident??
If it is being kept quiet out of respect for those involved, I get it. Like I said, just curious. Praying for complete recovery for all involved in this incident.

Re: Not class racer but drag racing news
Lots of talk about this over on the Bullet. Some have been reporting that Lagana was badly burned and lost both of his legs. Crampton is recovering. Bad deal all the way around for those guys.

Re: Not class racer but drag racing news
Thanks for the update Mike. I hope the part about Lagana isn't true. Yes, a bad deal all the way around. Praying and hoping for a good outcome for them all.

Re: Not class racer but drag racing news
So that's what Ron Capps was talking about on his FB page. I believe there is a go fund me or something set up.

Re: Not class racer but drag racing news
Ron, "Ongoing police investigation. Speed is believed to have been a factor." This fills in most of the blanks. Maybe shooting for a spot on Street Outlaws?

It ISN'T about what they did, but how they come out of this bad situation. My prayers are for everyone to be A O.K. after this deal.
