Edit:

Warning: Some what graphic and not for the faint of heart or young. The really sad part his this guy should have known better.

My comment removed because it's just plain ugly.

You're right Strip.  This guy should have known better.  I can't imagine being him now, but I can imagine being a parent of a kid he's killed.

SEE.....

i look at that the other way. i can imagine how incredibly ungodly horrible and suicidal i'd feel had i been the one stupid enough to kill those people, and kids.

 on the other hand, although i'm not a parent, i AM a stepdad, and an uncle.......and i cannot possibly imagine the feeling of losing a son or daughter.

 
 that being said, from the looks of the ferris wheel in the backround, it looks like it was at a fair of sorts, and that he was hired to do a "show pass" or two.
 still so far beyond stupid though..............

He was hired to make exhibition burnouts with not a single barricade in sight. I have watched people get runover, hit, or had debris hit them from a burnout. You have wheel speeds in excess of 150 mph on a greasy city street. Those cars have been known to crash on a well prepped racetrack!

Epic!   

As someone whose been behind the wheel in moments like that I can attest the drivers version was a bit more "colorful".

dumb on so many levels

yup thats outrageous, six people die and they scapegoat the driver. no one from the charity who hosted the event or the council that rubberstamped the safety permits gets indicted.

well....ya.......he's putting out close to 8,000 horsepower.

 even on a dragstrip, those cars cannot hook up without prepping the starting line. even then, if you've ever noticed, the slicks are spinning on the initial launch.

now...there are other people at fault here too. there's the people dumb enough to stand within such a close distance of a car capable of over 250 mph. there's the people running the fair. there's the people that gave em the permits.(they had to know there was going to be a race car). there's even the local police dept, seeing as they're usually who's hired to provide security at these fairs.

 every year, they hold a carshow at the flying w airport. they usually have at least one drag race car run. but....they keep people WELL clear. the driver uses the runway(close to 4600 ft long). no one is allowed past the taxiway(to the best of my knowledge). and obviously, the airport is closed for this event.

Actually that car is closer to 3000 hp and capable of 6.3s@230 mph in the quarter mile.

I have noticed spinning before from inside the car....

 

On the way to a mid 8 second pass at 155 mph in a small block dragster.

coolness!!

i hate racing against you guys in my camaro. it's so friggin hard to judge what yas are actually doing.

 if i ever get the money to get her back on the track with the new engine, i'm hoping for high 8's, low 9's.

 she ran 9.9's with the 454. she has a 540 now.   (we REALLY need a drooly icon)

oo...and my error.,...i thought that was a full on funny car......

I love driving a dragster, its so easy to judge the finish line, put .011 at the strip against a door car last week.

Only bad parts, hardly no burnout and the thing drives itself, point N go. This from a big block chevy equipped 5.90/9.40 second door car with 99" wheel base, now that was squirrelly!

Sounds like you have a sweet ride, love the Camaro body, hate to work on them tho...

see......
we never EVER worked on that car at the track. we took what we got in our time runs. we used to get fairly amused, watching guys, wrenching like mad to make their car run a 10.0, "because it did last week". they seemed to forget that the density altititude was higher this week, than last. or that it was more humid. or any other number of factors.
 we spend our days working on cars, we go there to relax, have fun, and chill out. we'd take the trunk lid off to fill the fuel cell, or charge the battery. but as for the engine? everythign was checked before we loaded her up on the trailer.

 you'd be kinda surprised at how many people were wasting a LOT of effort being pissed at us, because we didn't work on the car....and we could put it within a couple thousandths of our dial at will.

 this is the camaro i'm talking about.

[Strip]

Ahhh....nice car, love the wheelie......

I drove a low ten second 69 Chevelle when I was 15, first launch had time to say "Holy Crap" before the front wheels touched down.  



I agree, working on cars at the track is a pain in the butt and not a good way to win rounds. I was more speaking from changing things like spark plugs on a Gen 4 Camaro in the shop. Arguably my favorite body style but any work on the motor, at home or the track, is an exercise in patients. We are spoiled now, I roll up a stool to change the plugs and set the valves.

Here is our car...



Sorry about quality, this is from a cell phone I think. Other than the living racing is about the only thing that holds my interest over the years. Those Borla's make the car so quiet, you cant hear it running from 100 feet away.

bich!! i'm jealous!!   

and ya...the very first time i drove that camaro, i kinda "tunnel visioned". never saw the shift light. i white knuckled the wheel, pulled the shifter twice, and was sweating my arse off when i got back to the pits. she only ran a mid 11 on that first pass, and admittedly scared the poop outta me.

 then the fun started. 

 and skuzzy...can we PULEEZE have a drolly icon?
