The driver's name was Tetsuya Ota. He survived with severe burns, and there was a huge controversy afterward about the actions of the officials. They obviously acted like total f*&%ing idiots. They say that they initially ignored his car because they just automatically assumed he was dead.

Here's Mr. Ota post-accident. He wears a prosthetic nose so he can maintain a somewhat normal appearance. Poor guy. :

Tires are bad things. Didn't someone at a drag race event die recently after being hit by a tire?

awe thie internet..... source of happiness

what's interesting (if you can say that about it) is how small of a problem somethings that are "hot topics" in the news are when compared to some other things that we just dont hear about... that site was found by my son when he was doing some homework. I really think it is good, but questions the accuracy

for example compare gonorrhoea to traffic accidents is 2:1, yet its not in the news at all


malaria is 20:1... whenis the last time you saw "breaking news" over that?

good morning sunshine :kiss:

Protective gear is a must if you are going to race. Even good fire gear in a daily driver is a must. It would be nice if everybody never had to go through things going drasticly wrong.

Can someone tell me what the F was happening at the 2:27 mark with the motorcycles going up the hill? It looked like ppl were hanging out at the top of the hill to help the riders over.
