Looked piss poor and stupid dangerous to me...could have ended very badly in such a crowded area....

He may be a good driver but nobodies immune to fck ups.

AUSTRALIAN drag racer Troy Critchley has negotiated a deal that will keep him out of an American jail.

The Queensland-born, Texas-based Critchley was facing life in prison, but in a plea deal agreed upon with Tennessee prosecutors today and supported by families of the victims, he was sentenced to one year of probation and a suspended one-year jail sentence.

He will only go to jail if he violates the probation.

It is a huge relief for Critchley.

The 37-year-old generated worldwide headlines last year when his high-powered performance car skidded out of control at a charity event in the town of Selmer, Tennessee, and crashed into the crowd.

Six spectators, aged 15 to 22, died and 22 other people, including a five-year-old boy, were injured.

Critchley was originally charged with six counts of vehicular homicide and 22 counts of reckless aggravated assault that could have sent him to jail for 90 years.

Under today's deal, the charges were dropped and replaced with 28 counts of reckless simple assault.

Critchley is expected to enter guilty pleas to the charges in a Tennessee court on Thursday.

Critchley was known as the "Burnout King" for his expertise in performing the stunt at charity events and drag shows.

In an interview with Australia's 60 Minutes earlier this year he said his memories of the crash would forever haunt him, but he does not know how to apologise to the victims.

"I don't know how I can ever say that I am sorry," he said.

"I will be sorry for the rest of my life."

That is a sad story. It is. But I see it every day. We live in a society where we dont take responsibility for our own actions as well. Walk out in front of traffic, and its the drivers fault. Stand right in front of a reving drag car, now that's stupid. Ya see it all the time. Like 1000 hp cars on dynos and people are standing right in front of the car!!! . Ya right fk ups happen. So dont stand there!!!! People dint think and are not aware of there surroundings. Work in a large factory with forklifts and cranes wizzing by and u soon learn .
