The crash at KD was caused by a drunk in his racecar. I hear they beat the sh!t out of him for crashing another racer .

I got it from the AHRA director the other night that the track gave the guy a lifetime ban. He was the promoter of the series that was running. He admitted to 1 drink............

Years ago there was a guy that raced at one of the tracks I bracket raced at that drank whiskey from the time he got there until he left. He told me it kept him sharp on the tree. I always paid attention to where he was in the lanes.

i know several guys who use to win a lot of money in bars betting about reaction times and the influence on them by drinking, a lot of money up
They would have the victims, after several beers or drinks lay their arm on the bar and hold their thumb and index fingers apart about 3 inches and then take a 5, 10 or 20 dollar bill(what ever the bet was) out of their wallets and bet that the drinker couldn't catch it if they release it with the bottom of the bill held even with the top of the thumb and fingers scope devil
I can catch them when sober, after two beers or drinks not at all whiney shruggy

I’ve seen a lot of things in bars that I want nothing to do with at the track.

For better or worse, I like to drink. But even in my 20's, I never drank at the track when my car was there or even the night before racing. Two cool things that you don't mix.
