My GOD, that safety net is a death trap! Without a hint of energy absorption, it might as well be a concrete wall! It's amazing that with all the money and people in this sport, no one said "wait a second..."
Honestly, this is 1950's era thinking at work. It's not bravery, it's pure stupidity.

@dragracer3 - that is definitely NOT TRUE.
-
If they dont lengthen the tracks they might as well quit racing the fast cars. Its just ignorant.
idiots.

@Sax764 if the net wasnt there he would have survived
-
Stupid sport and stupid death, netting is bullshit
-
IIRC he was doing 271mph... so while it looks like he made no attempt to slow down, brakes don't work so good when your chute breaks away.... the sad thing is most tracks have the same kind of nets at the end...

The NHRA thought that it had solved the end of track risks by limiting the Top Fuel and Funny Car categories to racing 1,000 feet as opposed to 1/4 mile. This accident clearly requires the NHRA to either lengthen their drag strips, or create "sand boxes" that actually work with netting that is much more elastic.

Read a report that said he died of injuries to his head, neck, and torso. Also heard that the frame of the car was folded back into the drivers compartment.

@ghood666 Maybe if the net stretched more there would have been a chance to survive.

This makes me scratch my head as to how he died. He was definitely slowing the car down as he approached the sand maybe a piece of the nose of the car got into the cockpit and killed him. Hopefully the NHRA will pull their heads out of the asses and do something about this not just release a statement saying that it was a tragic incident

@ghood666 The NHRA has been removing the video footage of the crash dozens of times already. Their safety net is lethal joke.
