Track Worker Injured at Hartford
(Post From MSTRC Message Board)
Friday Night, a track worker at Hartford Motor Speedway was critically injured when he was thrown from the safety truck. The truck was entering the track after a wreck during the mod feature, got a little side ways and hopped the top of the berm, throwing the man from the back of the pick up. He landed awkwardly and was rushed to intensive care where I understand he is likely extreme critical condition on life support and is in grave condition.
It reminded me that last Saturday at Owosso Speedway a racer pulled up to the flag stand to "have words" with a track worker and squeezed him within 12 inches of the wall. When he peeled out to go back into the pits (where he went about 45 mph through the pits) he nearly crushed the guy between his car and the wall.
Please folks... be careful out there. Safety & Track workers have one of the more dangerous, less appreciated jobs at any race track and are woefully under compensated for the commitment and dedication they give racing. Please give these guys a break when you are out there.. they are just doing their job. As a driver, remember, its a hobby and its suppose to be fun. Save your emotion till you are off the track and out of your car. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be out there.
And if you are a track and/or safety crew worker, please be careful out there.
The balance of the evenings racing card was cancelled due to the severe nature of this accident and UMP Modifieds & UMP Factory Stock A Mains were postponed until next weekend, August 7th.
