I think we all remember riding in the back window of our parents car or riding in the back of a pick up truck or station wagon. Times have changed, how many sporting events do you go to that you could be killed? It is one thing to be a participant or a Non-paying spectator as in off road racing, it is entirely different to be in a sporting arena, which is what a race track is. The monster truck circuit faced this same issue a few years ago and changed their safety standards.
The argument that sometimes people die does not protect our kids. Had this kill a child, the only reason the child would have been there is if a parent took him. The child can not appreciate the danger. The NHRA should review and create standards for all racetracks that keep spectators safe. First rule of business, don't kill your customers!!!
