I was told over the weekend that more injuries occur from pit vehicle accidents than anything else at NHRA events. This doesn't really suprise me.... If everyone doesn't start being a little more cautious on their pit vehicles, we might all be walking in the future.

As for the fireworks, someone was firing them off Wednesday evening at the track...

Hi Jeff how have you been?
The problems stem from a few noodles who probably had a few too many or are just plain clueless.Allthey have to do is use the track security to monitor what's going on after the racing ends.In NJcops can issue a DWI,even on private property to riders of any wheeled vehicle,even bicycles.Saw it happen at the Englishtown swap meet 2 years ago.The numbskull really deserved it too.
In the end it's our own shooting us in the foot.
