Chill dude - I didn't advocate taking any legal action against any track.

I take full responsibility for risks on track, and rightly all track owners require signed waivers of liability so that everyone has to do the same.

I've had my share of racing incidents: crashing in the rain at Turn 5 on drivers left at Road Atlanta while leading a a race, taken out by a competitor entering turn 2 at Roebling that cost me the SARRC Regional Championship one year, and witnessed up close several "competitors" at HPDE events hit various immovable objects at Barber, Road Atlanta, Brainard, etc. where there should have been more run off room.

I don't want to close any tracks, but I would like to see a lot of improvements. Unfortunately that will only come with big money.
