:What annoys me most about the horrible crash of Greg Moore ( besides the
:lame discussion about what has to be done about safety-standards here on
:R.A.S. *after* something has happened) is the fact that Greg was surely
:instantly dead after having hit the wall going in head first (proven by the
:fact that there was not much reanimation going on by the medics, normally,
:if there is a chance for a guy to survive, you would see much longer work on
:the scene going on than we were having in Fontana). There wasn't even the
:attemt to try to even out the infield after Richie Hearn stirred up the
:grass at the *exact* same place Greg ran over a few minutes later, you could
:see a crater between the asphalt-service-road dividing the infield-grass. I
:don't know whether they fixed it after Gregs crash because I switched off my
:TV due to disgust. Yet, CART-officials kept it secret to go on with the
:show, to continue with the big business, to sell some more hotdogs on the
:grandstands, instead of having the guts to say: "Sorry folks, show is over,
:go home, we have had a casualty, so we are aborting this event". Same thing
:happened when Senna died, it's simply disgusting and respectless. Why is
:NASCAR the most popular series in the US? Could it be that they have the
:most and the most *spectacular* accidents around? Don't tell me it's because
:there are so many close battles going on.  Why do we see traffic-jams on the
:streets as soon as an accident has happened on the *other* side of the
:highway? Don't tell me it's because ppl are slowing down to see if they can
:be of any help. Why do windows open as soon as an ambulance comes roaring
:down the street where that window would never be opened cause it's too cold
:outside? Don't tell me it's to let fresh air in.  This society is sick ....
:yeah, tell me to dig a hole and hop in ..... thank you very much.
:In deep sadness

Auto sports are dangerous.. Anyone who drives in auto sports risks
death. That's just the way it is I'm afraid. Greg Moore knew what he
was getting into.
