Glad nobody got hurt, but the term "crowd of idiots" comes to mind. Stuff like this almost makes me embarrased to identify myself with this hobby.

I get what you are saying but the crowd doesn't always reflect on the drivers at these kind of races. 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)

if you run your car at a track like that with people everywhere and something breaks or goes wrong and kills somebody who do you think they will go after? so yes it does reflect on the driver.

I wouldnt bring myself or car to that track. That is crazy all the people around the start line. I wouldnt mind driving my truck through there about 80 mph just to clean out the starting line a little.

If I witnessed A loud drunk at my track, I'd see it as the minority, and I wouldn't see it for long. 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.

at places like that,a simple accident would produce more weapons than in iraq.within 30 seconds it would be gunfight at the ok corral.event is prob sponsored by smith and wesson and pabst blue ribbon...
