I went to the first organized race I have been to in at least five years .

25 years ago I used to go to Gateway International and drag my RD 400's at a blazing time of around 15 seconds (ho ho ho) .

I must be getting older or wiser , or my testosterone must be dropping , the noise of the rail dragsters was more impressive to me than the times .

Racing is all in the name of entertainment , it saddens me to see a man get killed putting on the show .

I sometimes wish I was in the arena of making golf clubs . Rarely do you have a story of severe golf injuries .

I am rambling ~~~ and posting this anyway .

What do you guys think ?

I was watching it on TV.
Very sad. I am sorry for him and his family. I hear he was a very good man.
Danger comes with racing, part of the draw, I guess...
God Bless

 

Its sad he was a good guy.

Things like this really make you think, even more for me the next time i take my mustang down the 1/4 mile.

 

I just sat there on the couch kind of in a blank stare look when the chairman anounced that he had passed away. One minute he's there and them he's gone. Very sad indeed. 35 is way too young to leave. God bless his family.

 

NHRA lost a good guy our thoughts and prayers are with his family and also with his crew cheif Wayne Dupree (spelling) cant think of how he must feel

 

Rest assure, he passed away doing what he loved to do. May God rest his soul.


Reminds me of the reason I got out of drag cars. The nastalgia front engined digger just kinda humbles you when your onions are resting on the rearend.
