Michael Weekly was driving Jhon Hobbs black nova when it got lose at 200' mark he couldn't recover the car struck the gaurd rail and the rail came in the car severing his leg he was life flighted to grady where he was in ICU over night he passed at 6 am mon. 11-03-08 he was 27 and had a wife and unborn child. the track has needed alot of work for a long time maybe this will open the owners eyes and stop putting all the money in there pocket and fix the track. and VHT more then 60' and replace the guard rail with a wall!!!
horrible. ..you know if you race SPRINT CARS or something like that...everyone worries about you geting hurt constantly...but not so much with a drag car....this goes to show you anything can happen.
