I've heard that YB is between Grand Prairie and Dallas and neither police department will touch YB. There used to be a lot of junk yards west of the track. I haven't been over there in 20 years.

I'm REALLY surprised they didn't let them line the entire length of the track with people. It would certainly have softened the severity of the car's impact with the wall! Glad the guy got out OK and that nobody else got ran over either. LOL

My favorite part was the guy on the sportbike running against a pickup in the other lane. No leather jacket on the motorcycle rider, just a T-Shirt and he get majorly crossed-up, over-corrects and ends up in the Pickup's lane a couple feet away from him.

Have you ever raced your car and seen some ricer kid at the track? A loud drunk? Then you must be a loud drunk ricer (by your logic that is)

But in this case, its not ONE cling-on idiot standing at the line.... Its like 100 of them. And I see not one track official or safety personnel anywhere. So I think your analogy is a bit out of whack here. To be frank and clear: In my mind, if you stage your car in the midst of what we see here, you ARE one of the idiots.

How would you feel if you saw a video of one of your kids jumping off a building roof into a wave pool at a public amusement park? Allowing people to do unsafe things on your property is negligence. That's why the sign says "by order of the fire marshal". I'm almost surprized the guy that owns that place has not been shut down, but after reading the above report about the police officer I am not.

Just sayin I have attended a lot of grudgenights at a lot of different tracks. I would say most are at best somewhat organized chaos. Generally the starting line area is packed with people and there is always at the very least one fight. I have also been at San Antonio Raceway when the police had to be called and the night was shut down due to some violence in the pit area. Must say HMP is not far from Yellowbelly in terms of atmosphere and they wreck as many cars as any track I have seen. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

He was tired, so we drove back to Dallas. Good thing as someone was shot and killed there that day. Maybe they should put a gun range next door or metal targets on the back of the cars so people can have something to sight their guns.

I have seen crowds just like that on the starting line of NHRA national event tracks, just NOT during an NHRA event. Tracks that routinely have "Outlaw" and "Grudge" events, routinely have that on the starting line. Many times a grudge race "promoter" simply rents or leases the track for his event. Security, emergency services, etc, or lack thereof is his responsibility. A track like Yellow Belly, is primarily an outlaw track. You know what you are getting into when you roll in the gate. Don't like it, DON'T GO, its really that simple. While those type crowds get really annoying at times, if you run at any big money grudge or outlaw races, you WILL see it and see it often. Now while the crowd MAY be filled with "idiots" as some here are calling them, there will also be MANY very well known tuners, chassis guys, engine builders, etc, in those crowds, because that is where some BIG money is. I have been to races like this and seen David Reher, Gene Fulton, Charlie Buck, Frank Manzo, Phil Shuler(owns a grudge car), Tim Richards, etc and the list goes on and on. Monte

I had no idea that Yello Belly was still open. I kind of figured that all the regulars had met untimely deaths and the place had just kind of faded away.

Gates closed at 9, so about 8:30 you would see a parade of the Detroit street racers come in, bypass tech, and go to the line and put on a circus act that P T Barnum would have been proud of. Saw a lot of cash and fists exchanged in the staging lanes there. Free advice and worth every penny... Factory trained Slinky rewinder.........
