Drag Week Accident
NHRA drivers Dominick Lagana and Richie Crampton were seriously inured in an off-track car accident with their DragWeek '57 Chevy entry. The car left the road "at speed" and hit a utility/light pole according to the news.

NHRA drivers weren't wearing seatbelts and ejected from the car? I hope they're ok. Buckle up, folks.

Those funny car halos will mess you up badly if you're not strapped in tight and wearing a helmet.

I know it doesn’t really matter but it was not a Dragweeks accident. Best of luck to all 3 of them hope they all do well and make a full recovery.

First of all I wish them all a speedy recovery. It shouldn't happen to anyone. But, "speed may have been a factor" and no body was wearing seat belts. If you are driving a race car don't get on it on public streets.

Sad they made bad decision to not wear seat belts. Not Good!!! No cars are built for pole impacts at speed. Like Chris65LeMans said "buckle up, folks"

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
