lendo38 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Anyone have any information on the accident that occured at HMP's dragstrip last night? I heard it involved a truck, and that the driver lost his life in the accident. I hope this is bad information that I am getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProTree Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Fu Fu was a super, super nice guy-he loved to be in the middle of it-very tragic accident-they have been vocal on that website all day and on dragstripaction.com also-R.I.P "Fu Fu" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 If only half of what's being said on that board (http://beta.voy.com/16243/) is true, one can almost hear the lawyers lining up for this one. Not a good situation. Nick Holt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASPEEDRACER24 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 As much as I could add more to this post it wouldnt be the appropriate time to air my thoughts. I hope more info on what happened and the such will come out so all sides of the story come out. The drivers family and thier loss should be the most important thing at this time and for them I pray for the best it this tough situation...

ProTree Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I hear you Nick-cars are getting quicker and quicker,I deal with issues weekly where cars run in the 12's,hi 11's and everythings cool,then they throw the dope to it and run a 10 sec pass.I'm on the radio notifying down the line the car# and model of car to have a talk with them about whats going to be in that car before they dope it again.I spend alot of time on forums where alot of my street racers are members just keeping up with what they are doing with their cars and adding in turbo's,n2o,and blowers to go fast so I can tell them the safety issues that are involved with their modifications to try to head it off at the pass.Alot of them just want to go faster,not realizing,the quicker and faster they go,there are safety requirements that go along with it.And as usual its the last thing they think about.Some of them say I'm the Bad Guy,thats fine,it's part of the job,I just want them to have fun,be safe and return another day.

txtom Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Tommy, It amazes me the number of people-drag racers, street tuners, etc, who will spend thousands of dollars on N20, turbos, everything that will make them faster, yet they will scream and hollar and cry if you try to make them do the cheapest and easiest mods they can make, like a roll cage and a collapsing steering wheel. This crash reminds me of the guy who died at Alamo a few years ago, fast, fast nitrous car, no cage, no fire extinguisher, wasn't even wearing a fire suit.

Definitive Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 It seems like there are an awful lot of people playing the blame game.How many of them are qualified experts on what they are talking about?It sure is a good thing this forum isn't rated R.It was getting a little tiring sifting through the muck just to find out what actually happened.

Jason Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 You also need to take into account how many more people post on that forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrss1 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 turbo i got tired of reading the bs. did some one say what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KISS_Racing Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Tommy, Have you heard any specifics? Did he not have a cage or is that just a rumor??? I sure hate to hear this... In any form of racing, we are all brothers and sisters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProTree Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 having heard any specifics-looking at pics from the day of race hours before the accident of the vehicle in ?,I dont see a cage.I had some friends that were there,but they said they left the races when it happened,and all they had to say was, "it got out from under him and it hit in the wrong spot".

lendo38 Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I agree with you guys about the other site. It is really terrible how ugly they are to one another. And to think that they all share the same passion or at least interest in racing. They should embrace one another, not treat each other that way.

supertx Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 LENDO I agree with you we have some differences on TSZ but for the most part it is civil thanks to Nick.lol Just don't talk about crate engines lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lendo38 Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 supertx, I promise I won't mention the cra.... engines. Re-opening that can would be dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
