I'd like to know how it's disrespectful to discuss safety at any time.
High speeds equal high impacts, I do remember someone stating that they were scared to death just watching at Bellville.
The irony of it all is that the actual racing is safer and much better on a bullring, I'm a firm believer high top speeds detract from the racing on a dirt track most all the time.
Fire isn't my biggest concern, getting hit in the cage while upside down on the track is. Some accidents and deaths are unavoidable. Every time someone dies in a car people want to add more safety features, if you want totally safe racing outlaw all racing. I'm sure theres people somewhere working on that right now.
I'm different then most but in my opinion it's no worse or better being killed in a race car then the thousands killed on our roads every year.

Its seems anymore folks are either too "respectful" or not "respectful" at all.
