Speed, at what cost?
General
PK I agree with you. The perfect balance is a moving target that can never be achieved no matter what steps are taken. I was really touched yesterday and drivenby the rage to say something, anything. Hindsight is very clear, but it seemed that too many had concerns before the race started and that is where my rage came from. But what could they do, the race was scheduled and the teams showed to race. I feel that A.J. Allmendinger is correct when he said the Indy cars do not need to be on mile and a half ovals, but on a few smaller ovals but mostly on road courses. Indianapolis is part of the history of open wheel racing and no way that will stop, but the other oval should be reconcidered.
I'm sure there will be lessons learned from the tragedy and improvements will be put in place, that is the way sanctioning bodies handle things like this. Fans will move on and hold many fond memories of a great talent, and a greater young man, husband and father that left us much too soon. I will, but inside I'm screaming at the loss of another racer. I can't label this as some freakist accident.
