any starting line official who lets a car leave the line with another vehicle disabled down track should be castrated on the spot. same goes for the crew of the offending car.

I think it is fairly common to let a car run with a disabled car on the track, usually a reverser issue like this. But the driver is supposed to be out of the car.

We had scenario like that at our local track at Milan Dragway before. I can't believe they allowed that to happen, but luckily the car that made the hit did not crash into the disabled car down the track.

It happens at events with fuel cars , they often send one car down with one against the wall ..

It’s still our choice if you are in the running car, yeah it would be a pain to shut it off and refuel and redo everything for the run but it would still be better than a torn up race car or worse yet somebody getting seriously hurt, yes it does happen at the big races saw it at Gainesville a few weeks ago with a promod.

Always. Even the Big Show cars. Driver has to be out and over the wall.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
