Ever raced on Runway (vids)???

Wow, pretty cool!
No helmet on the 409 Chevy guy. Makes me wonder, in this litigious day and age, how an event like that can happen.
Don't get me wrong, I love it. Just wondering how it can happen without a tech-in, etc? Is there a release that has to be signed by drivers and spectators? If parts fly into the crowd...
There's an airport near me. Unfortunately, it's open. It'd be great to have a place to just let loose.
We did all sign a release,but im not sure if they had insurance or not .I would hope so and there was absolutely no tech or safety gear required.I still wore my helment and buckled up in the 5 point regarldess.This track BTW is and old military base that has tons of old runways .There are still sum private planes that fly out of this airport .All of the original hangers and buildings are still there from the 40's-50's.I think the county owns it now and im not sure how the promoter ever got them to go for a drag race being held there .Its only like 7 miles from my house ...
