this has to be the stupid-est thing to happen since, well.....it was just stupid......
It seems that the Cars for Kids organizers thought it might be a good thing to line the streets of Selmer, TN, with tens of thousands of spectators, and then send a ProMod car doing a burnout right down the middle of said crowd.
Result:
Car out of control, 6 spectators dead.
I am lifelong fan and competitor in drag racing, but this takes the cake for stupidity. I have seen most of the bad ones, from cars going straight through steel guardrails or over concrete barriers, to cars upside down at over 300mph.
Street racing is illegal everywhere, driving a ProMod car is highly unpredictable (and I love the ProMod class), and what the hell were the organizers thinking????
Everyone involved in this lunacy should be arrested and thrown in jail without a trial----forever.
Drag Racing didn't need this----nor did the victims.
Totally stupid.
