Agree,go figure that it would get hit. 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 ..
The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

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.

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