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.

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...
