Vette(s): Gone, but not forgotten: 1974 Coupe Red, matching numbers, Black Interior, L-48 w/ 4 speed; The “Admiral”, also gone and never to be forgotten. 1994 Admiral Blue LT-1 coupe, Black Interior Automatic
Holy s#^t Ouch 
 
After viewing all this carnage, I am wondering....
 
Why the NHRA does not require debris fences on top of retaining walls....Disapprove
Why anyone would ever even consider backing out of a garage without a wearing a seat belt....Disapprove
 
Having spent 30+ years in SCCA Club Racing and having been a first responder to some pretty horrific crashes, I am continuously amazed at what a driver can survive and how well the safety equipment actually works.
 
I am with you Joel....don't do that crap on the streets anymore....statisfied my need for competition on the race track....although I still like to punch it once a while....just to blow the cobwebs out of the secondaries...Big%20smile
