I Like(not really) how they turned it into a promotional ad at the end.

I have been going to Dorchester since the gates opened, as a matter of fact Elijah Sr, pulled me from drinking and street racing to organized racing. In the 25 plus years of racing I have heard of more fatalities in local street racing scene than at any of the local tracks. From my point of view, not even 10 feet away from the vehicles on the starting line, it was a definate freak accident. My prayers go out to both families involved.

They probably have no idea how many lives are saved by race tracks, pulling it off the streets either. We had to hold up white sheets Sunday cause Live 5 News got turned around at the gate, and they wouldn't let them in, and the EMT's were afraid they would be filming from over the fence with high powered lenses. Thats rediculous, and not the time for pictures. Show some respect for heaven sake..

I completely agree these people have no clue how many lives are saved by the track providing us with a safer place to race.

Ive also been in the position of having to hold up a sheet while the coroner identified the victim of a tragic accident so onlookers/media/family wouldn't gather and there is nothing enjoyable about it.

If you read a lot of the comments on other stories you'll realize it's the same idiots commenting all the time. They know nothing about the situation and just spew their crap. Make one well written, factual comment and then don't waste anymore energy on it. Some people are just ignorant and have too much time on their hands. Energy is better used on prayers and support to the people effected.
