-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.

Tracks have always used entertainment to attract spectators and generate income. Been plenty of stunts at dragstrips during national events.

That may be true but even IHRA may have to think about it after that stunt.

A few weeks ago, I had either read or heard that Darlington was going back to IHRA anyway. I don't know why that decision was made. I can only guess a disagreement between the parties could have caused it.

Going IHRA or not, it doesn't excuse or dismiss the stupidity that happened on the track. Shame on JJ for participating in something so boneheaded that will have long term effects on the track and workers he leaves behind. Also, where in the world is the track manager or starter. ANYBODY with half a brain that could be the voice of reason.

Little Randy lives near me and that pales by some of his stunts. Jeff Miles is the track manager of Darlington I think formerly of Carolina and Memphis.

Certainly there are people here old enough to remember the Aussie that was dragged behind a dragster in the 80's?
Much more dangerous then this and nobody batted an eye!
I saw it happen at a few tracks in the SE, Bristol being one of them. There were no threats from IHRA!
A bunch of wusses here jumping on the wdra bandwagon!

We have evolved and are smarter now (I hope.)

Add insurance companies and lawyers and watch everything gets cancelled.

Lawyers, insurance, cell phones and Facebook and this is big news.
Anyone find out if they were operating on the track's WDRA insurance? All of the traveling outdoor circus stuff didn't just happen this weekend. Did the WDRA and their insurance group not know things like this were going on at sanctioned tracks? There core group have been involved with sanctioned tracks that have been doing this for years. Suddenly they're concerned about safety at a non bracket event, what about safety at bracket events?

Very good points I had not thought about. 20 Years ago we would have said "That is Stupid" and forgot about it.

Now we are like I can not believe he did that! Pull the tracks Sanctioning! Drop their insurance. We have changed how we look at stupid stuff like that myself included.

In the past we did not care if someone did something really stupid or if they paid the price for the stupidity. Now somebody has to pay.

Now with the lawyers and this society seems everyone else is responsible and has to pay or suffer consequences of the stupidity.

Maybe it is time we eliminate the lawyers, take all warning labels off and let nature take it course and weed out the shallow end of gene pool.

Humanity has peaked and we are going back wrong direction and we are becoming outnumbered by idiots........ And they are voting. And Reproducing more idiots.......

Every successful Country or even family's do not have more people or Import than they can afford to feed and support, that is difference between civilized Countries and Third World Countries.
You can see which direction America is going.
