Letting a driver decide if he's fuked up or not is retarded. Same with any professional athlete. If they ain't dead and can half a$$ walk, they will try to compete. Like this deal, Jared wants to race now. He had to have been so freakin close to internally bleeding out it ain't funny. He tore 3 of the 4 layers or your carotid artery.
The door openings on the drivers and passenger side need to be accessible for an escape. We know they are not. Certainly wouldn't go away from the good seats. And just making sure your safety stuff is up to snuff.
More drivers, athletes, just need to be honest with theirselves. If your body doesn't feel right, get it checked out. If you don't like their opinion, get another. Their is more to life than racing or any other sport out there.
Since the Charlie Floyd deal was brought up, something in his fuel line didn't have the correct fitting, is what they think happened. He switched car from alcohol to gas or vice versa and they think some line wasn't plumbed properly. Was in Speedway Illustrated, their best guess. The other glaring issue, which I will never watch the video, is how long it took them to get to him. Supposedly the proper vehicle was there, couldn't reach the scene, then their generator for the Jaws if Life wouldn't start. Not getting to the scene because of d!p(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)s in the way, pi$$ on that. Get the fuk outta the way or I'm moving you any means necessary. The generator, it happens, but if you didn't test it before that nights racing, also a failure.
No you shouldn't mandate everything, but ignorance and doing it the way it has always been done ain't the right answer either. Wonder how something as serious as a torn carotid is on page two, but fifteen Bloomer jerkin off threads are on page one.
When he leaves this sport, you fukers are lost. The lovers and the haters.
