First.........how can you race for a living if you allow yourself to be hurt ? I would think if one races for a living, he is able to determine the difference between calculated danger and stupidity.

Second.......it is USAC fault for carrying on with the race, but it is not their fault that the drivers made the decision to race in unsafe conditions.

It is the American way today not to accept responsibility for decisions we make but rather blame someone else for the decision we made.

Bottom line, Brass tacks.............if you CHOOSE to do something, it is not someone else's fault if there is an unhappy ending.

We can argue about this all week.........there is no right or wrong answer......just good common sense decision making.

If I owned a Silver Crown car, it would have been loaded up and not raced.....period. I stopped letting stupid people make decisions with my money a long time ago.
