NEVER Race on a Drag Strip with a TURN!!

NEVER Race on a Drag Strip with a TURN!!

When drag racing, getting to know your surroundings should be among the top priorities. From the looks of it either nobody told that to this guy or he just simply had a lapse in focus as he crashes into the barrier of trees.

On the other hand it is a bit odd to have what appears to be a somewhat sharp curve in the shutoff lane at the end of the strip. Based on the reaction of the emergency team, it looks like this isn’t the first time this has happened either. Would you take your car down this track? It looks a little sketchy to us.
