    Stay away from the fence

    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.

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

        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.

                    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.

                        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.

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