Okay, that's gonna leave a mark but I feel bad for the driver... he's going to have that distinct sound of bones shattering echoing in his head forever. How is this for irony; the window netting at the drivers door may have cost the spectator his life... had the window netting not been there, he would have entered the car ass first and may have only sustained minor injuries.

What's that rule? "Don't get hit by a car"?
Always be aware of where the cars are on the track.
Yep. And as a OTR truck driver for years, we train the younger guys to watch out in truck stops and rest areas. You can't believe how many injuries are done at large parking lots for big trucks. Getting hit even by a slow truck can hurt. Always look for trucks/cars when you are in the same vicinity.

You said it!
I help out with a local dirt track racer and have nearly been smooshed by an outlaw on two instances. That's the problem being close to the action, you get a tendency to watch the leader when you should be watching the cars coming at you.
These days I finish up and grab a seat in the grandstand. It's safer and less mud that gets in your nachos.
