I'm glad you guys made it out OK.

As for the other drivers attitude that's really poor. So what exactly happens when someone driving a high dollar sports car takes it to the drag strip and someone else wrecks it, do they just have to walk away and say "oh well there goes 60k"? I know you sign waivers when you enter the track but if some moron can send his cobbled together car into my daily driver like a cruise missile and have no responsibility that is quite scary. How does car insurance come into play or are you basically on your own since it's considered a timed event?

Makes you think twice about risking a car you can't afford to lose.

Supposibly under a Drag rAcing Rule/theory within people lol

Theres a thing stating that all racers r at there own risk..

No one is liable for someelses car..

If someone hits your car like devin, sure it would be nice help pay for the car but you don't have to. Remember they also have to pay for there car, it wasn't meant to happen

Accidents r accidental and r preventable in some situations..

Well at some point regardless of waivers you can still sue someone for stupidity and win.

Man I am sorry to hear that. How was the weather? I think they run that track on days that are too cold. I took my Honda there last October and it was 40 and windy and I was spinning 4th gear at 135mph in a 1750lb 400hp all motor car on 26 inch slicks with wheelie bars. It was downright dangerous. My car cuts 1.37 60s and 3.9 to 330 and doesn't really have traction problems EVER, but that track was friggin retarded in the cold.

Best of luck and glad you are safe after that.
