Way too many people in staging!?!?!?

Anyone else see a problem with the amount of people tracks allow to be in the staging lanes?
I can only imagine the carnage that would occur if one car has a mechanical issue while doing the burnout. Maybe a stuck throttle or blown tire. IMHO there should be a limit of 2 people directly associated with each car permitted anywhere near the starting line. While I haven't personally witnessed it, only "as seen on TV" with the "Street" racing shows, it would be front page and first on news if anything happened and would certainly harm the sport.

I agree. There should be NO SPECTATORS anywhere near the starting line or burnout box. Max of two crew members, and stop holding the damned cars in the burnout!!! It will continue however until someone does get hurt, then all hell will break loose.....

The stands are probably filled with smart (but lazy) Lawyers. They don't have to "Chase the ambulance", just walk down to the starting line and sign 'em up!

Really, this is a disaster ready to happen, and eventually it will.

No driveshafts ever break... at Lights out at SGMP a few years ago they assigned a wristband with a certain color that allowed u to be on the staring line, Milan Mich is doing it too but only on the FRi heads-up races, no time Sat is a whole diffrent story....
