I do not know if the BAC of .02 is a actual indicator that he consumed any alcohol, the report said he experienced 100+ G's, that would most likely cause massive/total destruction of all internal organs, I am not sure a untainted blood sample could have been obtained.

True enough!! Like I said, interesting that they put that fact in, but I am sure that with every vehicle accident BAC is checked and reported.

Do not know about other states, but in Missouri it is the law that a blood sample be taken from all drivers killed in an auto accident to determine the BAC, and the findings are to be released to any interested parties.

In the old days, NHRA, or other agencys may have been able to influence the final report, at least what was reported and what was not, but not so in todays world, no way.

I would say Scott had taken a drink or two the night before, thus slight BAC. No concern to the Patrol, since it was way below the legal limit, but who knows how NHRA will play this card. Hopefully they do not, because if push came to shove, how many racers, on all levels, would be alcohol free if checked, simply becasue they had drank a beer or whatever the night before?
