It's interesting to watch, and to see how crazy those guys where, but by the same measure I don't much like watching the poor guys getting killed.

Me too I don't like crashes. In fact, most of the time the drivers are okay. Too tough to die...

Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

Still nowhere near as nasty as Gordon Smiley's shunt at Indianapolis on May 15, 1982.
