We see this crap so many times a year and I think this guy did a great job of summing it up.

Great read. I whole-heartedly agree, and I've been guilty of many of those things myself at times. Doubly tragic that two riders lost their lives!

WTF - no corner workers nor ambulance crews??? No way.

That shit is ridiculous. Cutting corners is what matters most , apparently.

As long as riders are willing to accept those conditions, they will be presented.

Very good read. I believe those points apply to both on and off track riding.....

That was a great read indeed. My being only 1 track day into my track day riding career the reality of the first timer causing the crash really got to me.

I always assumed that there was always corner workers and an ambulance at all track days. I will never get on a track without either of those.

As you should demand it to be adequately staffed.
