Sounds like she was making her very first pass down the track from this story.

I hope I am not spreading rumors. I don’t think anyone has all the details on this. Please take what I say with a grain of salt

I was told they believe the driver had a stroke going down track. How a child that young has a stroke, I don’t know. If that’s true or not, I don’t know

Car was not slowing down at the turnoff and the safety personnel tried to latch onto the car in an effort to turn it off and was injured

An autopsy will reveal the cause of her passing. High blood pressure can create a stroke at any age, even as young as seven. Regardless of her age, and with absolute respect this was a tragic event, the loss is immeasurable.

Our condolences to her Family and friends

Does the jab cause high blood pressure?

I am just fine, I refused to get the vaccine.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Get this speculative BS out of here. What a dumb a$$ thing to even mention.

SL - ban this dummy for a while.

I don't agree with a lot of stuff that gets posted,but who should be banned for what?

People aren't allowed to say anything if someone is offended?

And back to the accident. What a terrible thing and all of the negative media coverage that came with it.Hopefully,everyone will eventually know the whole story,but probably not.If the final conclusions of the accident were to ever be made public,the facts would probably be banned anyway.

So someone say something you disagree with and they should be banned? What kind of world do you want to live in?


Without data, you’re just another guy with an opinion.

I agree.I read some comments the other day about the track allowing children to race on an "adult race track".People have no idea about what they are talking about.They also put 100% of the blame on the parents,again not knowing anything at all about the Junior Dragster program.

Look I think blaming everything suddenly on the vaccines is silly. But also so is ignoring the known side effects. It just seems to be the automatic go to for those who didn’t get jabbed and wear it as a badge of honor.
Curly is spot on with most that he posts. But if she had a stroke due to high blood pressure…..well that has nothing to do with clotting and simply a real long reach. Hell I’m wrong all the time so no judgement from me.

But banning him for his comment? Oh cmon now. That’s simply lefty censorship moves right there.

I want to know what happened as much as anyone. But if it’s a medical cause, and not a breakdown in safety, there really aren’t any learning opportunities for anyone.

Prayers for the family

There is still a lot of work to be done to determine what caused the accident. Rushing to judgement serves no one.

The important thing is that NHRA and the parents learn what really happened. A second tragedy occurs if nothing is learned.

No one wants this to ever happen again.

I wouldn't call for a ban, although I'm not sure it really needed said. I think that people who didn't take the vaccine are the new vegans though. Laughing Hard

Ehh.. ban is probably much even though i meant for a short time (more like a timeout for saying something so dumb).

But there is no need to say what was said based on what is known at the time. That sort of speculation is unneeded given the topic. It was right up there with some of the stupid comments made in the FB post.

Back on topic...

Im not sure what happened other than what little was given in the story I read yesterday. Im sure her family is heartbroken over this.

Strokes happen. My brothers's wife (ex wife now) had a stroke at 21. Had a classmate in junior high that had a stroke while in school. She's fine now. And she's fine.

Thanks to the helpful people..I couldn't anything news related last night...so I asked

Now what this thread turned into...WTF happened to this place????

Is this website just 20 or so people anymore that all have some kinda of ax to grind with each other?

Hard to believe that after all these years I still make the effort to still be a supporter and show up several times a week to see if anyone has anything interesting to talk about...
