Re: Plane crash at Pomona Raceway
Seriously, that was one fortunate incident,if one of these could be called that.He just missed the finish line grandstands,going around the end of it, since the scoreboard is way lower than the top of the grandstand,and he could have been trapped under the grandstand if he would have not gotten around the south end of it. That part of the track is under the landing approach of Brackett Field. Just be glad it wasn't Thursday a week early. Imagine the headline "Sportsman Qualifying Cancelled due to Plane Crash".

Re: Plane crash at Pomona Raceway
The gimli Manitoba crash was because they filled the aircraft in litres instead of gallons. This was during the switch over to metric and should of been picked up when the pilot did the drip test but he didn't do one. Long story short, he ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing on the only strip of pavement he could find.
More proof that drag strips save lives ! LOL! |
