Actually it’s time for people that never sat in a race vehicle of any type to stop telling people in race cars what it’s ‘time’ for them to do.
Why not ban snowmobile racing where you sit atop a 200HP buzzsaw of sharp ice spikes. Or motorcycle racing. Or motorcycle riding.
In motorsports, death happens. Watch, participate or do not. Amazing how fast people are to call for more regulation.
Well put....
Amen brother.
Racing...be it drag racing...stock car or formula one...is a sport all participants know can be fatal.
They all trade the knowledge that death is a hair breadth away at all times for the thrill of pushing a machine to the very edge of it’s limits....all for the glory of speed.
I would wager any amount of money that if one could ask EVERY racer of any series that died on track if they would change anything because of their death...I’d bet most would slap you.
Amen. Been there done that. My FReeper handle “Blueflag” is a vestige of my prior high speed heritage.
The thrill has risks.
