Looking at the news photo, I was very surprised that the racer died. The cage looked intact.they obviously clipped the top off to get him out.
I believe the situation with Scott was differant in that he hit an obstacle in the shutdown area that is no longer there.
We are racing and it can be dangerous. There are so many things that can happen that there is no way of insuring total safety for every situation. sad but reality.

Exactly my point Dave, I agree. I think alot of guys are forgetting the fact that this car was a "runaway", and not "coasting with no chutes". I think any National event track would have had their hands full containing such a vehicle.
