Danica runs over crew person

[Jess]

Anybody remember at Pomona back in the 70's when Billy Meyer's FC while iding came off the Jackstand and took off out of his pit?? I heard he plowed into a tow vehicle nearly hitting a couple of people.

I asked him about that at Indy one year, he told me he was wearing cowboy boots of all things! And whackin the throttle his boot got caught between the framerail and the bell housing, hanging up the throttle. If that ever happened today you can bet the Pits would be closed overnight!

When I was little and would be in Joe Amato's pit while he started the car his wife Gere would always come get my sister and myself and make us sit in the trailer while he started "just in case" anything happen. He would always check to see where kids were standing. He never wanted them in front or behind......They always had to be on the side.

Thank you Suzie!! Maybe that'll work...since rappin' the throttle never does!

being we are nitro cars we get towed everywhere when we go to the line behind a diesel dually ppl dont move for the horn and if they do they wait for the truck to pass then step behind it and trip on the tow rope i can yell and scream but it dont work sometimes we even have crew ride the tail gate and they still try to jump it. its almost as bad as when you strecth your chutes to pack them and people step on them or stand on them i just give a good yank and catch anyone between the legs that tends to open there eyes if not get a chest full of beer and cross eyed

Here in Fort Worth, the TCU Horned Frogs sound a train horn when they score a touchdown. Maybe that would get some of the ding-dong's attention!!! I can hear that horn at my house and I am a good 5 miles away from the stadium!!!

Uggghhhhh! The BBQ Cooking Team across the way from us at the cookoff in Splendora this weekend had one of those train whistles.....got our attention WAY too often!

 

[whitelightning]

tired train horns i have them on the truck and a 3 gallon tank with air compresser and they just jump and look at you funny and slowly move or stop and yell at you so we just yell back with the hit of a switch funny thing is they just dont yell louder then the truck can

 

[Jenn]

That's what I'm thinking!

One another note......
You know sometimes even when I'm trying to get back to the pit after a pass....it's hard to get through the crowds. Folks don't notice me behind them....they are oblivious to the sound of my car. I always wish I had one of those horns like Jim Carey did in the Mask movie.........

....aaaaahhhhhhh-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-GA!

LOL - Maybe they would move then............

You would hope, and then the speckies would complain that the racer was so mean to them to honk out of them and tell them to get the yell out of the stinkin' road! I wish the announcers would run that tidbit more often "The racers and crew members, when they honk and flash their lights, they aren't being rude, if you wanna watch the show, get out of the way so we can put the show on.

That's just my thought on wayward speckies

Customers who bought that item also bought a memory card, I wonder what the memory card is for on the horn? Take pictures of all the people you make pee their pants?

The Van Halen one?

As soon as I read Ice Cream Song, I started singing Eddie Murphy in my head.......'Ice cream, we got some ice cream, and you can't have none...'

anyone know the rest??

 

[Stroker]

I thought the Van Halen song also, very creepy.

Jim Dunn was racing in Boise (Firebird Raceway) many years ago and went onto the return road w/ the engine running and 'blipped' the throttle and ran into a snack shop and killed a pregnant woman and a young boy and severed another mans legs above the knees....A very sad deal...

Would this be about the time Jim Dunn gave up driving his funny car? Man I don't think I could live with myself if I had been responsible for something as bad as what you just stated. If this is true, I don't know how he could have afforded the lawsuits that would have come his way. Hope this is just an urban legend.
