Exponentially increased danger factor!

Spectating around racing events is always a risk...whether
the crowd
realizes it, or not. Consider all the reality TV

parts going flying
into the stand and over 'safety-barriers' into the
crowd.

unfortunate accident occurence in our racing sport.

Do we need to mandate mile-high finishes and safety

The problem is that neither recognize their status.
