Driver in the 33 car I believe should be charged with simple assault, a misdemeanor. Driver of the other car should be charged with Aggravated Vehicular Assault a felony
Figure-eight guys are nuts to begin with...... Having been around dirt racing for around 20 years, 7 years driving(5 years Pro Stock/2 years Late Model). I've seen plenty of fights and cars used as weapons. Some of the worst incidents are caused by guys who were the biggest assholes in everyday life.
Dang Leigh. I was "roundy-rounder" dirt track driver back in my younger days. I started out in "Thunder" class when I was a senior in high school and progressed to Super Street and eventually Mini-Mods. My wife's folks raced for years and were at one time fairly "famous" around tracks in northeast Mississippi, northwest Georgia, southern Tennessee, and north Alabama.

ReplyDeleteI had no idea they still ran Figure 8 races.
ReplyDeleteThat was some classic shit though!
One thing is for sure, that was an expensive Saturday night for two drivers!

DeleteAnd of course every hillbilly in the crowd roars with applause because they think this is great. This country is so screwed up.
