Death Toll At 6 In Selmer, TN Dragster Crash

A tragic incident.

The death toll is now at 6 after a dragster got rolling during a demo tire burn-off- lost control and spun into an unprotected crowd Saturday afternoon during a benefit for children.

A tragic incident- and my heart goes out to the town and victim's family & friends.

As a pro mod racer, I can tell you that the last thing that the AMS wanted was to see anyone hurt. It is such a tragedy to have happen, particularly at a charity event benefiting children.

No amount of speculation or blame will bring those people back or ease the pain that this has caused. I am sure that 10 million times they will all wish they could take that moment back.

This will be a learning experience for many, that despite how many times its been done before without incident, how experienced the driver is, or how good the intentions are, with these and any other machines... things can go amiss quickly and result in devastating consequences.

My deepest prayers and sympathy to the victims, their families, and the others involved in this tragedy.

I remember Shirley Muldowney when she was a rookie, HeHe

Indeed what you said- NO ONE knew this was going to happen or they wouldn't have done it.

Best of luck in your racing.
