Las Vegas, NV: For some, IndyCar is synonymous with speed, precision, and cold-blooded racing techniques. For most, it is lumped in with NASCAR as “just another race car league.”
This past weekend, the majority of the nation was reminded that open-wheeled IndyCar races were still active in regions other than Indianapolis when British driver Dan Wheldon was killed in a fatal crash at the Las Vegas Speedway during Sunday’s race. This comes as a surprise, considering the only reason the majority of viewers watch races like these is to see a horrible, high speed crash without having to be driving down a highway at 20 miles an hour and getting rear-ended because the car behind you wasn’t interested to see if the accident drew any blood.
Officials in charge of the Las Vegas Raceway have been questioned on the safety of the track after critics and drivers expressed their concerns on the conditions. This has led to a safe and easy solution by IndyCar president Randy Bernard that would make all tracks safe.
“If the issue of safety is so damn important, than we’ll take away the danger, which is also the excitement of these races. We’ll take away the speed. No quietly go fuck yourselves.” stated Randy Bernard.
In this latest rule change in sports, IndyCar races, along with NASCAR races, will now have a speed limit to races to provide safety on the tracks. While the imposed limits may be different per type of car, it has begun with a limit of 150 miles per hour on IndyCar races.
“We’re going to use normal traffic procedures to enforce these rules,” explained Charlie Klampton, a flag-waver who will now be in charge of a radar gun to clock the speeds of drivers. “Police car will circle the track with the race-car drivers, and pull over whoever may be speeding. It’s worked nationally, why not here?”
Officer Richard Wilkins of the Las Vegas Police Department was optimistic of the procedures. “Of course we would rather the drivers pull over and off at the center area of the track, on the outskirts of the pits, but I’m not against having drivers stop right in the middle of the racetrack if that’s what needs to be done to enforce the law,” stated Officer Wilkins. “The other drivers will give us the right of way, for sure.”
What a crock of shit, To much to early. What a terrible thing to publish, even on a heaping pile of crap like the owl.
“Too much too early” is what most women I sleep with say. Must be a coincidence.
