Track Safety: Questions You Need to Ask by Tim McAmis

Excellent video, especially if you are racing on a track you are NOT familiar with!

About Roger

Roger became involved in drag racing during his high school days and after his stint in the Army ran E & F/MP [Modified Production] here in Division 6 before switching to bracket racing when the '57 became obsolete for class racing.

    When Pacific Raceways added the sand trap years back, Joe Loch took me down to the top end on his golf cart to see the new sand trap and the new turnout to the right prior to taking the ’57 down the track. I was certainly familiar with the track but was not familiar with the new sand trap or turn off and wanted to see it before making a run!
