Yes, and add in all of the other hazards like alcohol-fuel fires (can't see
'em) and starting-line engine detonations, and I would much rather be road
racing!

Thanks for sending this out Brad. I've had a standing argument with a drag
racing friend of mine for years about the danger factors of drag racing
compared to auto crossing.  Of course he goes directly to the precautions he
is required to take in his super comp dragster that does 200 in a quarter.
I sent him this video to show the average, (OK maybe lower end), drag racer
who shows up to "run" his car.  I think it will help my case.  WOW! I'm glad
this guy wasn't strapped in, he could have...well, been hurt. I've never
seen a Chevy come apart like that and I'm a Chevy man.
