We have lost another driver this week to bring the total to two I believe, I"m only counting sprint cars. Has anybody else noticed both happened with drivers running a wing? I remember being told racing was safer cuz that big wing will save you. Sure that wing made the car more sable and faster, but most times the wing breaks off at first impact so there goes your safety. I never understood the,faster is safer BS, I always figured the faster you go the harder you hit that coming from someone who took a lot of hits when I raced. It seems to happen on bigger tracks I don"t really know the answer on how to stop it but to me losing two drivers is two to many. Anybody have any ideas?
