[66-Ghia]

I was watching NASCAR today and they said something about a BIG crash at Englishtown today but since we were having a Birthday party for Ray, I turned the TV off and haven't heard anymore about it. Anybody out there know any thing about this???
Thanks

I know that Doug Folley one of the top dogs in the sport "Local guy" was running a 4sec 300 mph pass in his dragster and the shoots didn't open brakes couldn't stop the rail and heard that he went through the fence. I'm not sure who was driving? But that happened Friday.
