Still having Cobra sho burnouts?

[DAVID GAGNARD]

It was the Jackhammer Pro Modified Corvette. Runs 6.10 at 240 MPH.

It was also reported that the guy was a veteran racer of 20 years or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This just proves $hit can happen even to professional/veteran drivers, much less the guy that drives his over powered car once a month.....burnouts and high speed passes belong on a race track,not a street lined with people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would guess monday the multitude of lawsuits against everyone invovled in this event will start being filed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMHO there is no reason,charity or not, for these kinds of things to take place on city streets.............

At every "open track event" and most Mustang track events I have attended, they always have the "kiddie rides" or parade laps were people can do ride alongs at a safe controlled speed in a safe car and enviroment, on the parade laps, folks can drive their own cars on the track behind a "pace car" at a safe speed for all to enjoy.....
That I gladly support and have always given rides to youngsters, I think I enjoy as much if not more than they do, it's a safe way to share your car and the track with people..............

1: "I know what I'm doing and can more than handle my cobra".
2: "It can never happen to me, my car is 100% safe"
3: "Helmet and safety equipment, why does my passenger or I need that crap"
4: "It's a government conspiracy, nobody can tell me how to drive my car, especially at a charity event"
5: "It's safe, or why would they allow us to continue to do it year after year

I've heard every one of these excuses before, I can't find it right now, but there is a video clip of a blue Cobra leaving in what looks like some kind of parade, he "got on it" before he had the car pointed straight and lost it and ended on over the curb and onto the grass shoulder, luckily,there was no one in the area at the time............
