It's a hard thing to accept when any young full of life person is killed no matter where or how it happens. It can and does happen every day from walking to school to driving a race car all anyone can do after the fact is pray for all those involved and give the family a lot of support they are going to need it

It's not hard to accept. Death is a somewhat well known side effect of life. Rather young old fat or slim in a racecar or in bed spoiler alert. you die.

Maybe for you but I know and heard of people that never get over the death of a loved one. Try your theory out on the families of the people on the missing jetliner for instance. From TV alone I can tell many are not handling this situation calmly especially since there may never be closure. Life goes on but it's never the same and many times not as happy or fulfilling. I sat next to a lady flying home from Florida after Speedweek and she started crying telling me about her husband who had died two years ago. She said she'll always miss him and that the joy had gone out of her life for the most part. Some may say she's not strong but she was in her 70's, felt very alone and had some fear of growing older by herself. You're painting with way too wide a brush, my friend.

As usual monkeyboy you show no tact whatsoever. I lost a wife WAY before her time, its a hell I wouldnt even wish on you after that comment. Next time you get the urge to say something stupid like that please check yourself.....that is if you have enough brains to figure out that what you are thinking is stupid.

also look you can have a 13 year old run a mini sprint at waynesfield and a lot of times they will beat the older guys but like you said driving on road has absolutely zero impact on race cars.

It may have nothing to do with ability, but it has a lot to do with maturity, experience, and what we as a society agree is acceptable risk for a particular age. Where does the lowering of age requirements stop entirely. Is a 12 year old too young? 10? 9? 8? If you say yes, then why? We don't send our 13 year old children to fight our wars even though they may be quite good at playing call of duty, but parents of children who are great at Iracing seem to have a terribly difficult time saying you have to wait to race a real car until you are older. It used to be that if you weren't old enough, you were a spectator until you grew up and I never saw a problem with that. |
