I've read some pretty strange stuff:
"It was young punks" - Uh, most racers are young, so I imagine the average age of a diesel event is perhap late twenties. Age is what it is, and can't be blamed.
"It's the track owner's fault" - The Beech Bend Dragstrip and amusement park area is a very nice facility. It is normal for them to allow out of town dragracers to camp out there. Normally they act like serious racers.
"TS Performance holds zero responsibility in this" - I can just imagine what would be said today if it were Edge, ATS, Banks, BD, etc, who promoted this event. Here, let's use Clint from ATS: 'I really feel bad for poor Clint. He's one of the nicest people in the whole world. He is truly the victim here, and is above any criticism.' Yeah, right. Security costs money. Turning back people when the campground is full costs money. Trash cans and portapotties cost money. Let's get honest. Everybody knows that is was expected to be a drinking party as much as a competition event. That means tight security, especially in light of other events in that region that got out of hand. Skimping on security wasn't a wise financial move.
"This happens at ALL events" - Horseshit. It's actually rare for the racers to destroy property intentionally. This isn't an end of diesel racing, it's just another wake up call. Next wakeup call might be when someone kills someone's kid by showing off in a 7,000lb 4x4.
