Thanks, you beat me to posting yourself. The article does put things into
perspective.
From the article a quote by Greg Moore just two days before the race:
"The cars are as safe as they can be," the 24-year-old Canadian driver said.
"It's just that you'll never be able to make race cars completely safe.
Things happen at speed."
Racing drivers are aware of the risks when they step into the car, they
accept those risks as part of the sport they love. Greg Moore was no
different.
Not one of the drivers wish to take unnecessary risks, but neither to they
wish to compromise the thrill and speed of motorsport either.
There have been 3 deaths of drivers in Cart in the last 16 years (I
think...please correct me if I am am wrong) That to me is an exemplary
safety record for a sport with such inherent risks. Fate has dealt us two
death this year, which must of course make us reassess safety levels, and
correct them if necessary, but equally every accident must be considered
separately and objectively and without a knee jerk reaction.
It is always a terrible thing to see such great men die and upsets me as
much as anyone. However all I ask is that you consider the drivers wishes
before you make judgements that will affect the sport.
The risks will always be part of motorsport. Surely it is the choice of the
driver to decide on what level of risk is acceptable?

"I heard if you play the NT-4.0-CD backwards, you get a satanic
message."
"That's nothing, if you play it forward, it installs NT-4.0"
That's one way you can say it... You can also say:
3 deaths in the past 3 years
or
2 deaths in the past 2 months
