Scott will be missed,RIP. My heart goes out to his family and friends. This is very sad. I pray that God will be with them and comfort them.

NHRA should address what has happened and have longer shut downs,period. At over 300mph your car has to work 100% to be able to stop. There shouldn't be issues of death if you can't stop. I know I know,this is a dangerous sport with these high speeds and anything can happen but we should take every safety measure we can.

In drag boat racing the drivers sit in a self contained brake away pod. I was wondering if this would fit our sport?
