No racing is safe...part of the game. But what I mean about "arent in danger" is that at tracks there is trained emergency crews to assist....nothing but you and opponent on the streets. And if you wreck or hit someone else, what are the chances your opponent are going to stick around and help (especially if you dont know em).

U have a good point there. Unfortunately thats not all tracks. Some tracks dont have an emergency team on site, on "Run what u Brung" days. I know atleast at the track I race at here doesnt. They may be on standby, but definately not there. So it shouldnt be any different calling a hospital no matter where u are. But if your an individual that is willing to take the chance (and dont endanger anyone else) then its up to u. Not to mention I think driving in rush hour traffic in London (and prolly some other large cities in the US) is more dangerous than an open road run out in the middle of nowhere. I have driven in both and can tell u that first hand. So the levels of danger here i believe are a bit over exaggerated. I mean when u take a road trip most people travel 70-90 MPH on the interstate for long periods of time, possibly hours on end in traffic. How is that not dangerous and accepted? While people that go out in the middle of nowhere sprint up to 110 and quickly back down to a stop lasting a whole 15 seconds or less. Not to mention when I have done an occasional sprint down a road out in the middle of nowhere I have always had friends around. So if something does happen then I do have friends around to help. Dont get me wrong I dont do it very often at all (once in a great while); personally I preffer going to the track and seeing that nice LED sign light up with my time (not to mention its legal). Just my two cents pdiggs. I respect your opinion as always though.
