Another Racer Killed at E-Town

My feelings? E-Town should be excluded and banned from running the Pro's, let alone anything faster than 8 seconds until they rebuild the track with longer shut down lanes. That old track needs to be upgraded to todays standards of speed. Screw the 1000' drag race that everyother track in the country has to abide to after Scott's accident. Anyone that raced in Minnesota at the old Twin City/North Star Dragways can tell you how scary it was to run a fast car with the short shut down lanes that made you think you might end up in the rubarb (cat tails) before they lengthened the track. That track spent some cash to keep us drivers safe. Too bad its closed down. If you want to see a crash, go watch NASCAR with 3 wide in the corners. Yes, accidents happen in drag racing but shouldn't happen after the stripe. My prayers and thoughts go out to Neal Parker's family and friends.
