Kill switches

Posted by David in Ga. on April 20, 2004 at 04:40:32 from (64.12.116.80):

I attended a show last year and was horified to see that no kill switches were used. During the barrel race the barrel from the left lane turned and went under the left rear of the right lane tractor sending it up on one rear wheel. The driver was thrown and as he fell and grabed desperatly to hang on pulled the throttle wide open.the tractor went into the stands,climbed about for rows and then turned and headed across the fair grounds. It finally flipped when it ran into a very pristeen restored tractor.Lucky every one got out of the way. I was told they didnt like the saftey switches as the were not "original" and they like to keep them that way. Is this a common way of thinking? Personaly mine will have a kill switch if I compete or drive in a parade. Both tractors would have no damage had they had a switch. But both were severly damaged as well as many lives nearly lost.
