Stay away from the fence

[MRM]

I'm sure everyone has heard countless times for fans to stay away from the fence. This is why your P.A. announcer is always saying it or should always be saying it.

What track was this at ?

[DennisErbFan]

Something like this happened in Mt. Vernon, IL about 15 years ago. A few people in the stands were actually killed.

[Mindwalker]

That pole kept him out of the stands. They were lucky!

What was that one last year. I think it was a big block modified and landed under the flag stand

Believe this was Lake Cumberland. Throttle stuck wide open.

That's where the DoD write up says it was.

Looking at the racetrack in the last pic, I was interested in the layout of the track so looked at it on maps. Crazy looking track. Wide here narrow there....

It always bothers me when parents let their kids run and play along the fence.

[Josh Bayko]

If something like that happened at Tyler County it would be a disaster.,

That stands is way up off the ground Mindy. I've been to that track.

[IZZOJR16]

same with the infield, photographers, track officials, and spectators get way too close to the action at most places I visit. Suprised there aren't more tragedies.

[IZZOJR16]

[B_K]

Angle of the shot makes it look like it's closer to the stands than it is. Looked like a wild ride though.

[Kwd1253]

Lot tracks the stands are closer than that. Good hear no one got killed or hurt

[Clayton_Wetter]

Good thing that wasn't Richmond, that car would have been sitting in my lap!!!

You probably loosened his lug nuts, they're looking for you!!!

[Mindwalker]

Hanging from or now loosening them smh. It's the SS way😆

Yeah, even though it was a bad deal, the stands were probably pretty safe.

I will say this from going to that track a few times--you are basically sitting on a ladder at that place. It isn't really bleachers as much as sitting on a ladder leaned up against a wall. Or shelves. You're sitting on shelves. The kind of place where you look down from your seat and it's like you're looking over the edge of a cliff.

The funny thing is, he rolled it back over on its tires and won his heat. Crazy.


Ok I made the last part up.

[Mindwalker]

Funny stuff there Norm. Lol and lol some dad burned more!!
