    Drag racer Eric Medlen dies after testing accident

    http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/news/s...d=8&id=2809984




    I had been following this story mainly through http://www.nitromater.com

    NHRA's Full-time dedicated Safety Safari was at the track during the accident on Monday just before Noon. The right tire exploded when he was making his run. The car went head on into the wall, but they aren't saying which, Resulting in sustaining a severe head injury. He passed away Friday, March 23, at 3:20 p.m(ET).

    Earlier this week there were pictures on dragracingonline but they may end up taking them down.




    I posted this video back in January but it shows how quick the Safety Safari is, 23 seconds after the crash) two guys are touching the cockpitis.
