Plane crash at Pomona Raceway
While watching the evening news a moment ago, they broadcast a story about a small plane crashing on the eastern perimeter of Brackett Field. Seems that it struck and damaged the right lane finish line scoreboard at the drag strip,made it across Fairplex Drive,struck the fence and caught fire. Pilot escaped with only minor injuries. Glad it didn't happen a week ago. Glad nobody was injured.

Re: Plane crash at Pomona Raceway
Where were the potholes? In the pits or out on the track someplace? I remember when Pomona had the roughest shutdown area out there.

Re: Plane crash at Pomona Raceway
Several years ago, a 767 wide body got glided in on the dragstrip at Gimli Manitoba. It had run out of fuel and the pilot dead sticked it in. It was successfully emergency landed, they fixed it and flew it back out after repairs.

Re: Plane crash at Pomona Raceway
It hit the right lane score board and that may have been what saved him to scrub off speed. He's a lucky SOB!!
http://news.yahoo.com/video/small-pl...005652829.html 60 seconds on the clock to explain a round lose when this happens, just for fun !
