Mishap with Drag car at a Parade

[JRSully]

Very good cause but don't know if you should be doing burnouts with a very Hipo Pro Stock type car at a parade.! Hope all the injured recover, condolences to those that won't

What a tragedy. Brings back bad memories of the early '70s Yellow River drag strip massacre.

Am I missing something or was this occurring on a regular public road? How could you even consider doing a burnout in a 1000 hp car, 20 feet from 30,000 spectators??????

sad deal all the way around..any time you click second gear stuff can happen..he should have done a couple little little hits and called it good. like has been said the legal stuff is going to be really bad.

I just watched some of the spectator and news video footage of this tragedy. It was a four lane public street, with a crowd estimated at from 40,000 to 60,000 peeple in the area for the event. It was like watching footage from the late 1950's and early 60's when people lined racing venues standing just inches from the speeding cars, oblivious to the obvious danger. It's just mind boggling how this part of a Cars for Kids event could have been allowed to happen in the first place.

You can smell the lawsuits from here. Total idiocy ! A good
cause to be sure, but safety & intelligence have to be first.
