    Actually is amazing that someone is not killed EVERY week at a local short track. People will stand next to basically a chicken wire fence and expect it to keep a 2000 lb race car from leaving the racetrack.

      People these days want others to make simple common sense decisions for them.....and when people do make those decisions for them the ones that need the common sense guidance get all pissy about it.

      Anyone with an ounce of maturity and common sense knows a chain link fence isn't going to stop a race car.......yet they stand there anyway.
      Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

        Were people standing next to the fence because the article I read said they were in the grand stands.

          I don't know about Lauren's.....I was commenting on the post above mine about how people in general at a lot of tracks stand right up on the fence. Despite knowing better.

            BBQBoy.. we both know common sense is not found in most these days. I have seen folks at County line with their hands over their head holding onto the fence. Think for one second what would happen if a racecar hit that fence. Would not be a good situation.

              Common sense has left the building folks! You have to babysit some people these days.

              Prayers...

                I do pay attention to where I want to sit. I like the way Monster Jam has remote shut offs in the event of anything strange and they are checked each time a truck goes out. 

                      That fence is there to keep you back and wasn't intended to keep anything but chickens in...

                          Where is the catch fence? I hope what’s pictured here isn’t all of it.

                              Seen video on FB. The car left the track and drove through the fence into the grandstand area. There’s another pic of the damage to the first few rows from the car. There was one guy close to the fence that got hit. The other three were actually sitting in the grandstands in this case.
