Any of you guys here about it? My wife called me and told me about it this morning after she talked to one of the owners of the track. She didn't get to many details, but she did hear that the guy who died was in his 30's who was driving a dragster and they think somehow his brakes locked up on him and he rolled it at least 10 or more times. The bad thing is he didn't die instantly. I guess his wife was by his side when he died, but I'm sure it wasn't a pretty sight. I guess this is the first time someone was killed at Milan. Sad news! My thoughts go out to the family and friends of the driver. It's a tough loss for anyone, especially someone so young with so much ahead of him. I'm sure he died doing something that he really loved though! God Bless!

EDIT The story is on the their homepage www.milandragway.com
