VIDEO: Roy Hill…Dukes of Hazzard Style

[Jim Wahl]

I'm really at a loss to see why anyone would think what Roy did was cool! To me those runs show a lack of common sense and makes for a very dangerous situation for both drivers. Shame on NHRA for letting him make three passes knowing the potential danger that cars setup presented. I'm sure that isn't the first time the car has done that and Roy felt he would be a hit at Indy letting it get so far out of control. Some people have more money than sense. Jim

EXACTLY...we all know how to tie our cars down with several methods at our disposal !!!! Truly a lack of respect for his competitor in the opposite lane !!!!!

I don't know that NHRA is to blame for it. Roy, of all people, should know your right foot can stop the ride at any time. Oh, and a good pair of struts and some travel limiters would help too!

Who cares..............

The guy in the other lane

[Ed Wright]

Anybody with a wheelstand prone car will tell you he needs more than wheelie bars on that thing. He needs to call Stanuff, they can sell him struts to fix that. That thing will unload so hard, if adding wheelie bars is all that is done, he is going to probably kill some sprags. Been there, done that.

And, yes, the guy in the other lane cares.

You are correct Ed.

The issue I had with him was his attitude.
Although he apologized to the other racer on his first run, he came over to the starting line acting like it was not a big deal and humorous what took place.
