With Team Rahal being a hometown team here in Columbus, we've gotten a lot of coverage - quite a shame that it had to happen. At least he went doing what he loved - we should all be so lucky.....
Got me thinking about the Alex Zanardi crash in Germany, and a similar accident that happened to Jacques Villeneuve at Phoenix in the 90's. No one died in those crashes (although Alex got about as close as it gets), and the speeds were probably similar. Dumb luck, better car design? - who knows. Accidents and death are inherent in any form of racing. I used to race Karts, and had a friend almost killed at Mid Ohio. All we can do is prepare our equipment to be as safe as possible, and the rest is in God's hands. God Bless Paul and his family. |
