Is it just me or has there been a rash of rookie student crashes?
In the last year, I can recall 1/2 dozen or so local HPDE crashes by inexperienced drivers (not that I have a ton of experience) where significant damage has occured. Is this a Texas trend? |

Mitch... I have been thinking that same thing.
The first couple of years I can only recall a couple of incidents of which most were in instructor run groups.. (ie...broken radiator hose being the cuprit.) But lately I have read about several and the insurance companies having to re-write policies to exclude HPDE's. My thought is that as OT has gained in popularity, that many more yahoo's have discoverd the track and the folks haven't gotten a real appreciation for the art of driving...just driving fast and out of control. |
