rally cars literally fly by thousands of spectators every race and people are very rarely hurt...some smack ass cant even do a burnout without killing people

That is awful.

a street aint a launch pad, traction is different, you hit a man hole cover your going out of control

it was a completely retarted stunt in the first place. the driver of that car should have had the balls to say he wouldnt do it even if the people running the show asked him to. promods are so damn unpredictable on the track in the first place, why in the world would you try something like that with nothing but people around??

I agree, Tennessee is a litte different i suppose, should never have been doing an 80mph burnout with people on either side. I understand cars do it at rallys but comparing a pussy rally car vs a 3000hp blown pro mod is just ignorant. Its hard enough to drive them on a surfaced track, in no way was that a smart idea doing it on un preped asphalt

.... with no guard rails/walls or SPACE separating it from the crowd. i hate stupid people.

that was just stupid!! what a shame for the innocent people just chillin having fun.

That was Troy Crithley?! I'm suprised someone with that amount of experience in ProMod would make that kind of mistake. I feel really bad for the victims and Troy. Doing a burnout like that in that car on the street is just asking for trouble.
