Re: nascar at the rock
I was at the race. Did the TV broadcast show the Army Spec Ops parachute team(Black Daggers,I think was their name)in the pre race show? It was a windy day,35 mph wind gusts.I think 8 guys jumped, 2 landed on target,1 in the parking lot,1 on the track right in front of me, he broke his leg, the rest ended up in the garage area. The ones that landed in the garage area got the worst. They had some really nasty landings. Looked like they took 3 out in ambulances, and air lifted another out. The rest were treated at the infield care center. The paper said they were all in good condition. I felt sorry for them. Glad to see they will be ok.
