Again, it starts at the top for folks that knew....or should have known! I would think that the sanctioning bodies would have a director of safety, and under them someone that would look at all tracks safety programs. I have written several articles on track emergency operations....but they fall on deaf ears. In emergency situations...sometimes you don't get a second chance to get it right! NHRA and IHRA have very good emergency programs at National and Divisonal events. Is a life worth more at one of those? Does'nt that sound kinda stupid.....

You aren't serious about your first sentence are you?You say you're a firefighter.
Would you get on a pumper that you know has a non working pump and or hoses with holes in it and go fight a fire?
The numbnuts who are supposed to man that equipment are just as guilty as the
management and whoever sanctions that $hithole.Also the insurance carrier, unless they had the wool pulled over their eyes by the track.
