I guess by now most of us have heard what happened at the Charity event in Tennesee. It's a terrible loss of life and my thoughts go out to all the people there. It also portrays a bad image for the sport. It's a shame that more thought and precautions were not implemented. Today I had to explain to several people that it was "not a drag race ", and that NHRA & IHRA have always been extremly safety conscienceous.
I would only hope that the press conveys that information to the public.
I'm sure the whole racing community is equally upset and I know thier thoughts are with the families and individuals who lost their lives.
