I LOVE The Greek, but in the interest of fair reporting, I think he was 4-5 yrs too long in the seat. He didn't have a light less than .200-.300 in has last few years, and each time we was staged I was saying a prayer for safety. If the NHRA required a cockpit safety and egress test like SCTA does for Bonneville, there would be a LOT of current drag racing drivers that would flunk!!
He did start having terrible reaction times, but bad RTs do not really translate to a safety concern.
