Who in their right mind would line cars up right there while the track is hot? Word to the wise, find out who put that event on and never run with them. I am suprised they didn't have a grid marshal standing there too.

The marshal would most likely be dead. Unf'inbelivable organization.

Thats exactly what they were doing, but that doesn't make it safe. Enter on track somewhere else or wait until the last car goes by after the checkered flag.

Remember folks, if you put 2 wheels off, DO NOT immediately try to put the car back on track.

If you drop 2 wheels off, just don't jerk the wheel. Stay off track until you can slowly merge back on. If you jerk the wheel trying to get back on, once the tires hit the pavement, it will slingshot you across the track or road. Next time you drive down the highway, pay attention to how many skid marks there are going from one side of the freeway to the other. That is how they got there.
