wow, guys i dont normally post on dumbass threads such as this but what the hell, i have a lil free time so ill chime in.
I know mikey and marshall, have known mikey for a long time, and dont doubt his abilitys as a driver. but something about this whole blaming the track owner for his mistake is a little lame. point is that lil piece of paper that you sign upon entering the track,well im not sure how many of you have actually read it , but marshall nor his track or management are liable for driver error.Or any damage caused to the track or from that such accident.

Ask your self this, who's gonna pay for the plane? Yeah is easy to say insurance, but fuck let me bash your windows in and key your car. and they say its no big deal cause you have insurance. and see how you like it.

Marshall is the man, and if he owns the track than he does. sounds to me like everyone from Team dohc is jealouse, no one hated him when he brought his car out, you all were sucking his dick over it. he has the right to say what he wants. its his track. i doubnt he will be hurt or cry if your four car crew doenst come back. Im sure that there is alott more going on with this that we all know and everyone is just assuming shit. no matter what ill be back at the track next week.

stupid comment's welcome.....

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA.

thats funny. i have yet to see a plane's insurance policy that explicitly said it would cover a car wrecking into the plane. FYI: planes are typically in the air, not on roads. most coverages will include deer damage, bird damage, hail, and other "natural occurences", or "acts of God"

i dont forsee that being an act of God, for one cause God wouldnt race a Chibby!

That wreck was in the times trails it was would be dumb as shit to shut the car down then you have no idea what E.T. to dail in for eliminations... Hell most times no one lets out if they go red in eliminations, but I've never seen somoeone shut a car down in time trials. The redlight has not a damn thing to do with him wrecking the car.. the throttle hung and he hit the link lock switch trying to get the car shut down..

What "TRUE" dragsters are you talking about? Maybe Promod, topfuel some of those classes but there is a shitload of money in those cars no sense in frigging up high dollar parts on a redlight

Yall do understand the concept of bracket racing right?

Kinda hard to have guardrails at a airport don't ya think...

Not to mention FAA regulations PREVENT them from adding anymore guardrails. Maybe you should consider all the facts before opening your uninformed mouth.

AND just so you know, there ARE some prexisting metal guardrails.
Hey shitbrick I didnt know it was a fucking airport. E-bitch.

Real dragways have some kind of barriers to prevent shit like that. Instead of racing what looks like two wide fucking sidewalks.

How can you compare that to full throttle in a 680+ whp drag car?

He DID shut the car down but he hit the linelock by accident or there would have been no wreck.. a dragcar is a little different than a street honda flying around some turns... you ever been going 100mph in a little over 6secs and had the throttle hang? I think thats something you wouldnt know much about...

I was thinking of the Track Insurance he is bound to have some type of Insurance on the place to hold events like this that would cover such events. ?
