Looks like a freak accident
It is dangerous to take part in any motorsport event, spectating sometimes is just as dangerous unfortunately.
Thoughts go to the family.

Thoughts go to the family.
Hence why there are always "Motorsport can be Dangerous" signs at any motorsport event.
RIP to the guy, and best wishes to the family

RIP shame it ended in that way as there was some of the best drag race action this country has seen in years yesterday! What annoys me is how they predict what caused it from a totally un educated guess!! They should explain AFTER the investigation not before.

Not yet, I am waiting for the Evening News tomorrow to see if they have any further details. Hope it's no one we know...
Edit

Not something you expect on a day out watching motorsport but it can be dangerous. You see all sorts of videos of these dragsters taking off over the barriers on fire
