No Jock for Steve Johnson (1 Viewer)

I’m not a gun guy. Just curious. Are a lot of people carrying loaded guns at the track? No one I’ve ever been around did. They could have had one concealed or put away somewhere. If so I wasn’t aware. I could see back in the day but I’m almost surprised the NHRA doesn’t frown upon it today.

the problem is not at the track but when travelling. Lots of race cars get stolen mostly in hotel parking lots but anything racing related can be a target for dishonest folks. Hope he heals and learns something. I lost a friend years ago who bled out before he could get help so he is already fortunate.

I always felt safe at the drags until, once at Maple Grove, there was a confrontation between two brothas about losing his standing space at the fence when the pros were about to run.
Yeah, I thought it was not that big of a deal too, but the one guy was so flipped out he was slinging drool. I walked into the pits to distance myself from that.

Since then, the only thing that scares me at the drags is lightning

He was lucky that this didn't happen in New Jersey. Out of state person carrying a gun there, There wouldn't be a good outcome let alone the injury. New Jersey is no joke about anything. When Brandon Bernstein went over the wall at Englishtown, The state police impounded his car until they did a full investigation!

Doesnt surprise me,cant even pump your own gas there lol

I have a 9mm Beretta & a 20 guage shotgun. A store I really like is J&G Sales in Prescott, AZ, about an hour drive from me. They have a few 50 Cal handguns there. I thought, how do you shoot a 50 Cal hand gun??? The recoil would knock me down. heh

it's like having one nitro header tube in your hand...... see 1:57 and 7:21

Now I know..... If I can hit the target (ain't talkin' bulls eye) with all 8 rounds, I am doing good.

My CCW instructor recommended to not carry anything larger then your local PD. Otherwise in court you could be considered aggressive and looking
for an encounter.

If you're talking about Yellow Belly Dragstrip in Grand Prairie, Texas, they hand out loaded guns at the gate. It's factored into the cost of your ticket.
