Everyone hates seeing fans injured any time any where during any sporting events, and frankly as many car racing events they have that go on without a hitch is a testament to the reasonable level of safety most of the time at these car races. Yet the cries will come to "build higher walls" or make 'lighter tires' or better yet "nerf tires".
You can see where I'm headed with that, so we'll just leave it with 'may God bless her' and 'Our hearts go out to her loved ones', who obviously must be stunned from the sudden, unexpected loss on a day which was intended to absorb some pleasure, I'm sure.
'It's a dangerous activity for ' is maybe the message here, and that some things are just plain old, sad and terribly regrettable accidents.
Fan dies after hit by debris from NHRA crash CHANDLER, Ariz. - A woman died Sunday after being hit by a tire from a crashing dragster at the NHRA Arizona Nationals.
