I watched the TV news footage of this accident today. What a stupid, stupid decision on everybody's part to allow this to even be considered. To see that funny car blasting full bore between rows of onlookers was something I can't believe.

Also, every headline is reading "drag racing accident, " when it was not actually a drag race at all, just one car doing an exibition run. It is sure to have far reaching reprocussions for the sport and the image the NHRA and street rodders have worked so hard to build.

Heads will roll on this one, and lawsuits are an absolute certainty. So sorry for the victims and their families. This should never have been allowed to happen.
