DAD, for as long as I've been driving a race car, I don't think many times it wasn't brought up at the drivers meeting, if you are involved in a wreck, or stopped because of one, don't leave your car, unless you are in eminent danger, leaving your car before the crash crew gets to you, will leave you with at least one lap less then everyone else, but we all know how long you remember that, but I do, it's easy to unhook, and jump out, to show everyone you're OK, or not, but just not a good idea. This accident shouldn't have happened, but it did, and they will continue to, unless everyone stays off a "hot track", plain and simple. I don't look for any sanctions by insurance companies, that's what insurance companies are betting on, it won't happen, and if it does, it will be a long time before anyone gets paid, racing is not nearly as dangerous as skate boarding, bicycle riding, or anything, where at least common sense safety equipment is not being used, we all take more chances driving to work, than are present on a race track, at least there, most everyone is going the same direction, and have the safety equipment required, and safety personnel close at hand, in case it does. I feel for both parties involved here, but they all were aware of the risks they were sitting themselves up for, it's just too bad, that some people prefer to sensationalize things like this, there are plenty of other things we could be concerned about, and let this be handled by professionals!
