Wow, this has to be one of the most moronic posts I have read around here in awhile. Did you wear a helmet as you wrote this, because you surely are a special person with this type of garbage spewing out of your mouth?.?.?
Paul, I'm sorry you think they are so good, But as a driver, The NHRA Safety Safari Is not a good as it could be. Here are some examples
1.I raced Gary Williams at Zmax in SC back in 2011, First pair out. Water on Track we both nearly crashed and we stopped at top end to tell them. What happened? They send another pair, Next pair one car crashed
2. Watch the NHRA Crew after each T/F Car they go out on track to check track after each T/F car. But watch after last car no one checks track then.Who cares what clutch dust is on track then!
3.There was a Pro Mod at Gainesville this week that had a pretty good fire. Watch the Safety crew The first guy to the car to save the "driver" doesn't have on full fire safety gear and had to retreat until the fire was out. Just watch the Video. He even jumps back because the flames are to hot.
4. Quite often they put the fastest cars T/D, T/S or S/C first in line for the day on Damp, Dew covered tracks. Where's the logic in that?
5. You can see from the above Video the track was wet.
I'm sure you all our going to disagree but after 14 years as a Washington DC Paramedic and a Top Dragster Driver. I think i know a little bit about safety. Yes they are Ok, but Not as good as they could be, and much worse for the sportsman racer.
Its a hard job to wear safety gear all day in the sun, But Its the job, Do It or go home. Safety is not just for the Professional Classes.
They could be better, They need to learn to care about everyone.
