this seems to be the case everywhere... a track is safe enough -
untill some one gets seriously hurt or killed :(
But on the other hand, many US and CAN tracks are way to dangerous...
just look at mosport.
These tracks would never be alowed in say F1 (don't gimme ***about
F1 being boring... I agree, but at least the tracks are pretty safe.)
I don't wanna take the focus away from the way to early and tragic
death of GR, but lets just hope that people start looking at all the
tracks, instead of just the one that has currently taken a life.

I just download the crash from somewhere on the net..
I think that all CART races should be on oval tracks. You get to sit in comfy
bleachers and see the entire race while only moving your head a maximum of 180
degrees. Add to that all the real racing and passing you get to see..... zzzzz,
zzzzz, zzzzz...... oh, I'm sorry I just dozed off with all that e***ment that I
was writing about. :)

That guy locked his brakes up quite a distance before the wall, and he
still hit it at 140MPH, according to what I remember from the
telemetry report....
they taped one or two races cause of other events ... (tennis, football ...)
:(
but almost every race is live there ...

Does nobody here watch World Superbikes on Sky or Eurosport? They're
been complaining of the safety aspect of Laguna for *years* and even
more so since the horrific crashes there in the '98 races. I believe
that they have or are planning to switch venues for the US event.
Seeing the replay before the race made me believe it would not have
happened in F1 because of the extra safety measures. The wall (or
whatever it was) did look unprotected for such a quick corner but it was
unusual (ignoring Schueys off) that the car wasn't spinning at all and
went head on in.

Me too. Everytime someone in motorsport dies, we have to tolerate a ranting
off-topic r.a.s thread *yawn*
Ditto, but even so, it's still off-topic.
*agggggggh*
Followups set.

(who points out even in light of the failed r.a.s.indy r.a.s.cart failed RFD,
that posts specific to CART are still on-topic in r.a.s.indy.)
