Track accident
I was in the stagging lanes Sunday in the outside lane,fence on my left. Sitting a car length back from a 90 deg. right turn. The car in front of me (super car with wheelie bars) fired up and launched, missed the car in front of him that was sitting about 2/3 through the turn. Went through the chain link fence, side swipped a bus steel front bumper spining the car through a ditch and up onto a blacktop pit road with the tires spinning. Thankfully no one was hurt.
I don't know what the driver did to regain control. I didn't talk to the driver or anyone from the track, so I do not know what caused the incident. I did however see it happen. I have a sneaking suspicion next week everyones neutral safety switches are going to be checked in tech. I just bought my car, have raced it 3 times and tech has never checked it. I DID when I went over the car after I bought it.
Every car is supposed to have a working neutal safety switch and there is absolutely no reason to not have one. This could have been a lot worse, that part of the pit road is where the junior dragsters line up. Thankfully they were not there.
