The fact the guy who launched HIMSELF off the runway sued the organizers afterwards for his own negligence, sadly doesn't surprise me.

@JacobTerherst 6 ай бұрын

I agree, but if he would have been by himself, how long would he have been left there? There’s a big hole in the safety if nobody knows that a car just drove past at 200 miles an hour at the end of the runway.

@@CursandCows that it’s an absolute joke that the so called safety officials have no idea a car has driven by them and is left in the firing line of other cars. Regardless if the guy never braked, braked late or the brakes failed altogether, at no point in time should cars be sent down the strip. Imagine if another car went off the end with him sitting there.

Fun but useless fact.the building that Manhattan motor cars is located was the remaining factory/warehouse heavy timber building on the block that wasn’t burned down during a fire in the late 1970’s. Everything else on both sides of the block was burned to the ground

The first airport race I ever heard of was in the 80's in Nassau, Bahamas. I never got to attend until about 1996. There were pieces of crap there but every once and while a few exotics would run. There was so much cash onsite for bets it made me really nervous. No safety, no cops and thousands of poeple. Guys racing hot roads to imports for 50,000k a race. The next time we ever hit a run way gain was in Canada in a 2 bit town in Ontario. Nothing but 200mph cars were there. It was pretty good. I imagine the American events though were on another level and a bit more organized with more safety measures.

Amazing story! When a man blames someone else for crashing his own car, that man is the perfect example of an ultimate failure. No exception, you should have seen it coming. Accept the risk or don't take it.

Dude, WTH is up with emergency services? Sleeping on the job. They screwed up majorly when my wife died. I'll never assume they're qualified again. Like cops, the firefighters are ignorant too. I've not witnessed Ambulance teams screwing up yet.

From what I've read firefighter culture is uhhhh... interesting. And as for the ambulance, they would have to have some serious noise cancelation to not hear (or see) a fly-by this fast lol
