This is an article regarding the Carrera GT crash that killed the two guys in the car.
Big award......releases are suspect. Track had some fault due to barrier placement, driver had fault, everyone had some fault as in most things in life. Be carefull out there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) http://www.sportscarmarket.com/content/carrera |

I wonder how many people at the track that faithful day thought to themselves "this isn't safe" and maybe mumbled it to their friends but never got the attention of the FOC officials???
I've only attended AX events, and this muttering happens a lot. Very relevant safety observations are made, but people don't feel like actually talking to someone that matters and can make an immediate change. EVERY time someone has said "Hey Bill (insert local guy's name) that course worker is in an unsafe position" he has run out and made a change for the better. MOST organizers are not so full of themselves that they will ignore such observations. I go to these car racing events and people are secretive, loners, full of themselves, crossing their arms, unapproachable and stuff....I'm not that type and will/have told organizers what I think. As a participant, I want a safe event and I think all others do too, and they need to help out and let organizers KNOW when something needs to be corrected. Here's to another year of safe driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
