Selmar TN is a small town. Didnt even know they had a dragstrip. That is the town about that bufford pusser came from, the orignial walking tall, not "The Rock" version.

dont see why the driver was floggin the car that hard on the main street. those cars are hard enough to control on a well prepped track and with full slicks on shouldnt have flogged it that much with so many people around. prayers go out to the family
