That looks like it could hurt a little......I guess drag races are more of a sport you risk your life to see down there!

That's a classic "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG" poster waiting to happen.

jeeeez - I'm surprised the thought "maybe having hundreds of people standing around a drag race isn't such a good idea" eluded the people hosting this event

Honestly I'm more mad than sad - I'm angry that no body thought that having that many people standing by the length of the race with very shitty protection was a bad idea...
