Mishap with Drag car at a Parade

[njsteve]

I just watched some of the spectator and news video footage of this tragedy. It was a four lane public street, with a crowd estimated at from 40,000 to 60,000 peeple in the area for the event. It was like watching footage from the late 1950's and early 60's when people lined racing venues standing just inches from the speeding cars, oblivious to the obvious danger. It's just mind boggling how this part of a Cars for Kids event could have been allowed to happen in the first place.
