No one has mentioned the safety factor the wings provide in crashes.....especially at the larger high speed joints.

 



I just did, quoting (not exactly) Karl Kinser

1 thing not mentioned yet isn the fact that the cars are totally different nowadays. It's not as simple as just tasking the wings off. Yes you could do that but you wouldn't stand a chance against a non-wing chasis.

I'm the same way. I've never seen a fatality yet, don't know how I'd react...

A 600 mini sprint driver got hurt really bad when I was at Path Valley a while ago, but I was getting food at the time. Still not sure how he's doing, but I don't think its very well....
