It will be interesting to see if NHRA follows up on this, as stated in the article. After all, there still hasnt been a formal press release on the cause of Darrell Russell's passing. NHRA, as well as NASCAR seem to be detached, or un-responsible for the safety of their drivers. Its the independent teams that motivate the safety improvements.
NASCAR had no less than 2 drivers die of basal skull fractures before Dale SR. died. They could have mandated HANS devices then. It wasnt until Dale SR died, that they decided they should mandate things such as the HANS device, which most likely would have saved SRs life.
Eric Medlen died from being SHAKEN to death. NHRA hasnt done **** to change the cars. Its been JFR and FORD.
You have to realize this is a non-profit organization (the NHRA) that aint payin out **** to the pros, while a few get rich. The entire sanctioning body needs an overhaul.
RANT/OFF!!!!
