That sucks big time, hopefully I'm never involved in anything like this.

If it happens between the burn-out box, and the timeslip booth, IT'S RACING!! No quarter given, none accepted...this is a big boy sport, if it bothers you, stay off the dragstrip, or get on-track insurance.
If it happens in the pits between two race cars...I've seen 2 pretty bad pit crashes, where it was difficult to determine fault, and in both cases the parties agreed to fix thier own cars.
If it happens in the pits, and someone runs into your stuff while it's sitting, you should take every recourse possible to collect for damages, including having thier privelege to attend races removed.

Quote:If I was the owner of that 8 second car I would be talking and demanding legal action from the local U.S. federal goverment attuorney(SP?) for that policemans abuse of power and coercion and civil rights violation.
I got one for you. An of duty cop driving a city police car getting paid to provide security at Jax raceway (Jacksonville FL) talking on a cell phone going too fast. Destroyes the back half of a 8 second racecar pulling out from his pit. (Junked it). The Cop climbs all over the Driver of the Racecar (Norm Williams). No compentiation was recovered. He is a chevy guy but he was told not to pursue his claim by the JPD for fear of retaleation. Does that ruffle your feathers?
I would hope there was more than one witness willing to testify in a court of law against the off duty cop misusing the city cop car also I have been the victim of attempted law enforcements abuse more than once, it ia amazing how much respect and lack of attention you get after you take the proper steps to get the abuse stopped 
In defence of most good law enforcement officers of all types of agencys, there is a few bad apples in every barrel. It is up to us( the citizens involved) to take the nessecary action to get rid of them Silence is what allows the few bad apples to survive
