I'm sur eit will. The next day, there was stuff all over the paper/net etc. of people who have columns saying how kidns shouldn't be able to race. Hell, I got into a fight with my family over it.
I'm sure this will provide a big hit to the racing for younger kids.

My condolences
Every racer must face the fear of "what could" its terrible to hear of anyone's passing and especially someone as young as her. A 17 year old has a long life to live. If anything let this be a reminder for all, this is an incident that happened in a controlled environment. How many people need to here a story like this to stop illegal street racing. I've been to my share when I was younger and and even raced once. Looking back at some of the foolish near death experience with people is a true reminder of "what could".
Leave the racing to the track lower the risks.

If anyone wanted to know some details, I was there that day. I had the worst view out of everyone cause I was working that OSCA event doing the scales, and that where it all happened. I was weighing a car when I heard the jet car take off, I didnt see the car because of the guard rail. Then when it went through the traps, it hit the ACdelco/steelback wall, left side, went straight up in the air about 60 feet, lit a bail of hay on fire, continued to spin end over end on fire, go over the guard wall, got shot up in the air again, and as it spun coming down, I saw the poor girl get ejected from the car without a helmet(because it was still strapped to the car) and hit the ground. It was the worst thing I have ever seen. I was in total shock. My prayers were definatly with the family!
