NHRA's philosophy: Ready, shoot, AIM! If the NHRA was truely concerned with safety, they'd advise all the teams and spectators to stay at home because they have a much higher chance of getting injured or dying on the way to the track than they do at the track.

I'm quite sure most of you won't like my analysis, but they have enough trouble attracting people to this sport, it will be even harder now.
I tend to agree and I sure hope this is short term. NHRA should quit holding national events at tracks that don't have adequate shut down area. I have never understood why there are two events at Pomona and Las Vegas but only one at tracks like Indy, Topeka, and Phoenix.
