| The following is an excerpt from the 5/31/08 recap from Knoxville Raceway. If you have not been there, the facility, from a safety standpoint, is very similar to the dirt track at TMS. Very high fences, multiple cables; about every safety measure is in place. 360s: Heat one (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Dave Hall 51 (4*) 2. Tyler Thompson 48 (1*) 3. Matt Moro 2m (5*) 4. Russ Hall 29 (8*) 5. Ricky Montgomery 9m (2) 6. Mark Amenda 4L (7) 7. Kramer Williamson 73 (6) 8. Nate Mosher 22N (9) DQ (weight) - Natalie Sather 94s (3, crossed 1st) Mosher endured a horrific crash to start things. Pieces of his car landed in the stands, and his front end ended up in the Dingus parking lot across Highway 14. He was taken in for observation and walked the ambulance with some assistance. Sather dominated the heat from row two after taking a lap two lead from Thompson, but came up light at the scales setting up some hard charges later on. New Hall of Famer Williamson brought out a caution when he stopped with mechanical problems and retired on lap five. Moro was coming fast and just missed a second place finish. The fence where this wreck occurred is at least 12' high, plus the front end of his car not only cleared it, but also crossed four lanes of highway and a spectator sidewalk before crossing the street, another spectator sidewalk, then ending up in a public parking lot. The point of providing this information is from a heads up standpoint. Anything can happen anywhere, and if there are any areas of your race track that could stand improvements to reduce unnecessary risks to drivers, fans and from a liability standpoint; please take a moment to not only acknowledge them, but put an action plan in place to make those improvements. |
