Firebird does almost seem more of a club track than a professional venue, we were just there last month to see the 24 Hours of Lemons, and the drag racers were having trials at the same time.
Obviously, there are risks at any motorsports event, but they should be minimized whenever reasonably possible. It is interesting that the raceway is located on an Indian property - hence they do not have the same liability as would be found elsewhere in the country (at least that's according to my old roomate who is an attorney in Phoenix). I'm also afraid that you'll see more and more liability concerns in motorsports no matter what happens. It still comes down to an unfortunate accident, wrong place at the wrong time. |
