Blind enthusiasm? Please, you do not know me and have no idea the personal losses I suffered this year in this arena. I am aware of the my friend, very aware. If you check out post I am concerned about the losses in this event as well and I do not take it lightly. For the record the flight path does not go over a crowd, this was an emergency situation where IMHO the pilot did everything he could to prevent a worse loss. I am aware of the risk, been to Reno eons ago. As far as the untested, perhaps you should look more into the sport, in terms of the untested and modified and what it is all about and what they try to do to mitigate risk.

I suggest you read the article I referenced. The pilot is quoted before the race as to not knowing how untried mods would perform. Then he opened the throttle and turned...From the little I know I don’t think the pilot was capable of anything, since he was unconscious...or dead. That more people weren’t hurt is dumb luck or God’s grace.
