...and up pops Friday night drags at Yello Belly, streaming live.
I have no words. The guy in the wheelchair, sitting in the middle of the track out at the 60', is where I turned it off.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

A great place to go watch a race...

A great place to go watch a race... Sitting on or standing by the wall maybe 150' down track? On the track side of the wall? Still don't know what the guy in the wheelchair out past the tree was doing, but he was there for a while. From the water out past the starting line, a path just wide enough for the cars. They were yelling at dudes to keep their feets outta da beamz.

At it again tonight. A friend told me he's the one who puts on the race. I hope he has good insurance.

Prety much like any event at YB.... I guess I live a sheltered life. And I've seen too many people hit and hurt bad out in front of the water. No interest. If a track operator is making bank and willing to take that risk, that's his business I suppose.

There was a thread about Yellow Belly on the Bullet back when it was still a race board. Guy posted pictures of his car. Went up to make a pass and when he got back to the trailer he had a bullet hole in his driver's side fender.

IMO there are FAR worse places than YB...Stuff has happened there in the past but IMO its the exception not the rule, but it is also not a single event. AS for taking your son, well thats a parents call. If he knows how to carry himself he will be ok. Just have some situational awareness. Stiff rarely happens with no warning signs.....My last time there was last year.
