Default RE: NHRA Drag Racing Death


ORIGINAL: JJMPB

golfers get killed every year in there sport from getting struck by lightening i am actually suprised that more drag racers aren't killed when they crash
It's a testament to how well these cars are built (i.e., roll cages & safety equipment). However, in Kalitta's case, nothing could have saved him after hitting the wall at 300 mph and his dragster exploding.
