| Yeah I agree with James I never heard that a Camera man was killed too!!
That really sucks now X2.
Thats a little freaky that the motor exploded and knocked out Scott unconscious with his foot part in the throttle!!
Maybe if that sand trap was a bit longer maybe Scott would of not hit the wall so fast and he might still be alive today.
I heard that ESPN was commenting that the NHRA should retro fit all of the old school tracks and update them to today's 300 mph Drag Race cars. You got to remember that when these tracks were built they were accommodating cars that were going in the 200 mph range not 300 to 350 MPH. Therefore maybe the sand traps would have to be extended further to help stop some of the race cars when the driver looses the ability to gain control of his or her car and let the sand trap help you out so you don't hit any concrete stopper at the end of the track and disintegrate your car and the driver.
God speed Scott and to that Camera guy as well. |
