|  Help required for drag racer Troy Critchley
Some of you may have seen the story on ’60 Minutes’ (Sun July 13th) about a story of Aussie drag-racer Troy Critchley who is in a very unfortunate position. If you would like to offer your signature to support Troy Critchley, please go to the link below. This petition is organized by a team of Australian Drag Racers led by Victor Bray. Support Troy Critchley... Click the link and sign the petition – then forward this email on to as many people as you can... http://www.teambrayracing.com/newsite/CoolStuff/petition.php Troy Critchley was involved in a terrible accident in the USA when volunteering to do a drag racing display at a fund raising event, the crash left 6 people dead and 22 people wounded. Troy is now facing 6 homicide charges in the USA, for something which could only be described as a terrible accident, not an act that was illegal. The organisers of the event failed to erect proper safety barriers and also failed to have the crowd stand back as they were instructed to do so... Troy, a champion drag racer, lost control of his car during a burnout display, and his car careered into the crowd. He now faces life in a USA prison for his attempt to help out a charity... He is being used as a scapegoat for the poor organization of the event, and lack of safety procedures... Please add your name to the list and forward to as many people as possible |

Yes we watched it on 60mins, and I am more than happy to sign the petition.. I truly feel for those that lost loved ones in the accident, and any mother would feel like part of her is lost forever, but to blame Troy like they are, is very wrong on many levels... |

Of course not Rosie, the more people that are made aware, the better the cause has a chance of achieving something  |
