I have a Question thats haunting me on this weekeds racing
General
You also need to take into consideration the situation both drivers encountered before their deaths. Scott experienced a devistativing explosion and the chutes just dropped to tangle in the wheelie bars. The way the body dropped on the chassis didn't help the matter either. Most funny car bodies leave the chassis in this type of explosion which would give the driver more freedom to contol stopping and deploy the cutes fully. From what I have been told by several, Scott was most likely rendered incapicated by the explosion making it impossible to take any actions to control the outcome.It is truly sad to lose any participant, be it a driver, crew member or spectator, at any track. Raceway Park, NHRA, NASCAR or any other sanctioning body have done a lot to make all tracks safe for the competitors. Any form of racing strives to keep unfortunate incidents from happening but it is a sport where you go out there and something you never want to happen does.
