Will be interesting to see the flack that follows. Also interesting that it was admitted the bolts were left off intentionally. I would hope that no one else racing is that cavalier about safety. jmho

When I read the thread title, I though it might be John Hutchison by a .44 magnum!

Action has already been taken.

Interesting that by English law the victim's family cannot sue.

If that happened here in America, there would be umpteen lawsuits.

In any event, that is a terrible situation. I stand along the fence at most every drag race I attend, and I have often pondered how safe I really am.
