All of the guys under the FC body concern me.
I saw the T-Ped incident at Indy live and it frightened the crap out of me. Those guys are so vulnerable should the car lurch forward.
I guess the safety record speaks volumes in that there has got to have been tens of thousands of lifting the body and dropping it while the car is running without incident.
This thread is a shining example of what is wrong with this site, the unknowing trying to dictate what they perceive as dangerous and wanting it to be made illegal.
This site has become a embarrassment to drag racing.

This is the way multiple people that are actively involved with the sport on twitter also feel.

What do you mean by "the unknowing?" Do you mean if you don't own or tune a car you can't have an opinion?
I believe Paul's comment was referring to those who don't necessarily offer their thoughts as opinions, but rather as facts; thus the "the unknowing trying to dictate...." line in his statement.
Lets see if I can sum up this thread:
1) Person poses a question about a safety risk they see
2) Predictable remarks follow:
3) Hand wringing ensues:
- What a wussie!
- What do you know, you've never driven a fuel car
- You think this is unsafe, back in the day ...
All we're missing is comments about the "nanny state" and Obama and the cycle will be complete.
- People are trying to dictate things to the drag racing world
- Nitromater is an example of how the world sucks
- No wonder this site is going down hill
Let's agree on a few things:
Carry on...
- Drag racing is dangerous -- and that is in many ways the draw to it.
- It can't be made completely safe, but eliminating predictable risks is prudent.
- A site with <1500 members isn't "dictating" anything.
- Nitromater is just fine, or none of you would be reading this.
