racing is dangerous. So is just about any professional sport. People get hurt and killed. I don't think banning and more rules are the answer. Maybe designing more safety equipment, but heck that has come a long way since the 50's to today. You see nascar racers hit the wall all the time and walk away. Thiings are musch better now than they ever were. When a guy gets beaned with a fast ball or a football player breaks something, they don't change the rules, but they do try to improve the safety gear. It's sad that the media fixates on any one thing to the point that you have to wonder if they are capable of any intellegence.
