Sadly these are the risks we take when we drive fast on track.However the chance of it happening to someone is very very small so enjoy it while you can I say! ![]() |

Without risk there's not going to be excitement? Every time you push to the limit you know there's danger sadly for some this danger leads to the ultimate sacrifice. It's a shame that the sport has this but realistically every sport has dangers.

It won't slow me down ...but I'm bloody glad that cage has been fitted now...I'm not on a death wise but when I'm in my 6 I just feel no fear & that makes me feel SOO alive ...the cage will just give me a fighting chance if it goes pear shaped ! |

Just needs a bit of respect in certain places, especially in the wet. Last time at Blyton sprint we had two cars on their roof in the middle of a massive field, just due to them running out of talent. You would never have thought it could happen! ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
