Saw the news....absolutely terrible.

Prayers go out to the 2 people's families. Would never wish for this to happen to anyone.

Has anyone driven in this group before? I assume cars don't have roll cages

I read that the car burst into flames on impact. Driver 30 yo instructor 50 yo were unable to exit.

 

Tragic.

 

RIP

Would you ever consider instructing for a vetted qualified group?

 

The idea of random newbs is just too frightening.

 

RIP to the deceased.

I did go through one of those, but I don't believe it was the Speedway one, I went to a different one across the street. No roll cages. you do go through a simulation of sorts, but I told them that the simulation lacks feedback which I hated, they really specify racing line and being in the correct gear.

 

Sad news to hear from it. There are no roll cages, they're just stock cars that have been beaten on pretty harshly. The one I had (McLaren) had it's AC go out when I was down there in the summer.

 

You also sign wavers about no lawsuits and whatnot when you go for it. It was like seven pages.

I would if I new the driver and it was in a race car , otherwise no go , too many things can go wrong . Another factor would be the track , ovals for sure not and no super fast tracks with elevation changes , that eliminates a lot of tracks
