Because I'm a dad I've got to chip in.

Don hit the nail on the head, this suit is ."......not to line my own pockets, but to get some justice, and to try to make sure others learn from this so it never happens again. Then, if I were to prevail, I would set up a fund in my Son's name and try to help others."

Those of you who are parents will understand.

Drag racing is one of the most exciting, beautiful things around. But we have to recognize the inherent dangers. In my humble opinion, the folks around this exhibition let the history of the event rule the event.

We cannot forget that safety is job 1.

And thank God that we live in a country where we have the ability to expect responsibility for our actions. I wasn't there, I didn't see the accident, but I know from personal experience that speed, horsepower and aggresive drivers need to maintain a wide margin of space from the rest of us to keep it safe.

No doubt that any of the backers of this event had any bad intentions other than to maintain the history of the event. Trouble is, technology has given us the ability to get to a level of danger that is nowhere near the past.

Whew!

Message here is to not ignore the need of the family and friends involved to have this event be a learning process so that none of us will have to endure their pain.

Vaya con Dios!
