The only way to fix the issue is to figure out how to keep the racecars ON THE TRACK. As stupid as NASCAR is, they seemed to have that fixed. Some of this flying car syndrome has already been addressed with the new car design. Almost every IndyCar death or critical injury has been from the car getting airborne and getting into the fence. The fence is there to protect the spectators. It mostly does a good job for them. But not so good for the drivers.

This is my first comment on any racing board about what happened Sunday. I've been too distraught over this to comment. This hit me almost as badly as Vogler's demise. Not to mention Vuky III, Kara Hendrick, Eddie Sachs, Bob Sweikert and all the others.

Let us not forget also that USAC lost a champion when Wheldon passed away.

RIP Dan. We lost a great guy and a champion.
