haha this is my point. sure there are people at atco standing off to the side, but most of them are behind barriers. those working and not protected by the barriers are minimal at most. the difference between here and atco is if the side guys get mowed over at atco its only at the most like 5 or 6 dudes...here it could easily be 100 people getting mowed over. that would be enough of a tragedy to never see Texas 2k again.
im not hating on the event, nor the dudes racing...i have no idea who they are. Im just saying, that 6 minute drag racing vid looked like it was mere inches to feet away from never happening ever again and maybe someone ending up in jail for a bit.
especially with ''no prep''
