WGF is a money grab.
Plain and simple.
Plain and simple.
I do know the WGF crew and they are idiots.
I was going to go but for the price of admission I passed. It’s not cheap especially compared to a tnt at s drag strip

I'm behind the idea of WGF donating proceeds to the Hagaman family in principle, but I'm grounded enough to know that doing so before or during any legal proceedings would be foolish on their behalf.
As for the call out, it's coming.

All of this talk about a lawsuit against WGF leaves me wondering if you all were jurors on a case, would you actually award money to a man who willingly accepted the risk and participated in an event where he drove a street car with minimal added safety equipment to over 200mph and crashed, resulting in his death? I'm just not seeing the fault on the part of WGF. They sponsored an event. People signed up for it being fully informed of the risks involved. Driving a car that fast is inherently dangerous, no matter what the conditions are. Driving a car that fast without added safety equipment is almost guaranteeing death if anything goes wrong. He was not an amateur racer by any means from what I've seen so he clearly knew the risk and went out doing what I'm assuming he loved to do. Accidents happen.
Legal proceedings or not, donating to the Hagaman family would be a huge sign of good faith. This does not admit guilt, it honors a fallen racer and brother in the sport.

The dice are always rolling, eventually it will land on the magic numbers and if you're not ready you're dead. I don't give a shit who it is, you go to an event with that type of speed possibility and show up with a "street" car and die.. your fault, and I don't feel bad for this at all. If it's a true "street" car, don't bring it to events like this unless you plan on possibly dying knowing you are rolling those dice. Street car's don't belong at events like this if claim being if it has a cage then it isn't for the street, horse shit, if I want a damn street car that hauls ass I WANT a cage in it period, no exceptions, you get one shot to enjoy it and the rest of your life. I would rather have an underpowered vehicle that's slower then go the complete opposite and overpowering a vehicle and taking the odds and throwing it in the trash by not putting in just a little bit of prevention. All the experience in the world means jack shit when nature comes in or bad luck, choice is.. do you want to possibly survive an otherwise fatal crash or end up in a box for a stupid reason, no, and one is going to look at you and judge you for showing up with a cage, no one is going to create an even saying they are illegal. So whats there to argue? Feel bad, sure hes dead, but it was his choice for choosing to get into the vehicle and attempt those speeds with the lack of safety.
All irrelevant.
Was the track unsafe? Yes
Did WGF know? Yes
Did the unsafe condition cause an accident resulting in death? Yes
Hmmmm
The words “contributory negligence” come to mind
You’re a little late to the party bud. Do some research on the situation and report back.
Some of you wouldn't be happy unless you could only run a spec car, with restrictions of course, you know to CYA. Maybe we can get 2 or 3 companies to build sanctioned chassis;s and motors. Maybe cut the length down to 1000's or 660' Or drive your car on a simulator/Dyno and pretend.
I can see it now "SSONE" "The Safest Show On Earth". Even the hospitality tents only serve Decaf and mush with Sporks in padded rooms with coloring books.
Seriously, Why don't just play Forza?
This accident has affected me. I am not callous. I have questioned dumping more money into my car in pursuit of more power. I wanted to do an event like this but being a convertible I question that. I stopped riding motorcycles soon after my son was born because of the danger. Thank God no told me I couldn't ride. I wore a helmet, in PA where you don't need to. I wore Jeans and a jacket, not because I had to but because that was the level of protection I felt necessary.
Again prayers for the family but if you **** with bull you can get the horns.
That's awful. They should give all their profits to.........................

What caused the wreck was driving on the unsafe track, at speeds that could result in a fatal wreck, which the deceased did of his own free will. The track did not compel anyone or anything to drive on its surface at a speed that could lead to such a wreck.
Yessir.
Wtf.. send me some pics of this car
Top Alcohol Flatbottom in a Sanger hull. I always wanted to make a pass, but never got the chance.
