This doesn't bode well for getting another permit next year.

At the races that I have attended, I have always been amazed at how close the spectators could get to the action. I hope this doesn't change too much after this accident.

You never want to mess up your back. I hope everybody heals up 100%

there were a few points, a small whoops section comes to mind, were the chain link fence was 3 feet away from the track - dangerous as hell for both the fans & the racers - guess where I was standing
