Race car burnt at Motor Mile Dragway

If i'm not mistaken, this track sued the ADRL but I never heard how it turned out.

There's a very scary video floating around on YouTube with footage of the Pro Mods getting sideways trying to stop in the very short shut off area. Others disappeared into a cloud of dust as they ran long. According to the ADRL, the track promised to upgrade in time for the next season's show. I can't remember if cars got damaged but watching the video you'd swear it was going to happen on almost every run.

They didn't fix things properly according to the ADRL, who refused to race there. Thus the lawsuit which I would bet has been thrown out by now. I would think the track is obligated to provide a safe venue (or at least meet previous stipulations) but I'm not a lawyer.

Just another data point as to the track's operation.
