Yeah......no prep

[Dick MacKenzie]

It's no secret I have NO use for no prep racing. I think the teams and promoters are all out of their minds to race this way. This was taken at Edgewater Raceway Park near Cincinnati (Fred's home track BTW). I always liked racing at Edgewater. They decided to pave the entire track with concrete and then decided to race on it before it was prepped in any way what so ever. Stupid!

The wreck of the "Dirty Thirty" and a Fox body Mustang is at about 7:40. Both drivers survived. One had burn on his hands. If you want to watch all the chaos start at the beginning.

About 24 seconds of just the Dirty Thirty.

When will promoters and track owners realize this type of racing is not safe?

Dumb azzes don't have a power broom....

And people watch too much TV.

When you give the video game generation too much horsepower. All this computerized, twin turbo LS, 2000hp, pipes thru the fenders, trans brake interrupter, 180mph in the 1/8th crap...I’m no longer a fan. Too much power, not enough intellect.

I would never race on a track that wasn't prepped properly, when i go to a track one of the first things i do is go out and walk the track to check it out, lifes too short to wreck being an idiot

Camera dud not very bright. I watched a photog get cut in have at the Grove a long time ago. Some goofy Merc pro mod Iron Horse or something like that went straight to the wall and climbed the guardrail and poof. 2 pieces fling thru the air.

When I used to race back in the day Myself and a few other guys ALWAYS WALKED THE TRACK BEFORE WE STARTED RACING . You would not believe what we would find .

The news didn't cover the crash but the girl who got hit by the car and sent her to the hospital with a smashed arm. I don't understand people wanting to stand so close to a heavy object moving at high speeds. LOL! I also can't believe the track allows it. LOL! Something tells me their insurance is going to change that.

I was at Norwalk one day and they were having the cars back up because of track clean up and a girl just stood there too busy talking in the staging lanes and the car ran over her foot---i see it all the time --- too many people too close to the starting line

Did the Chevelle run into the back of the Studebaker?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Yes it did and knocked it over the guard rail.

That sucks getting caught from behind to get into an accident

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

It would of helped if the Chevelle pulled his chute when the throttle stuck.
