Indy 500 crash photos
No, I don’t like crashes. I hate to see injuries to racers, race workers, and spectators, cars wasted, creating work for track and series safety crews, creating work for car crews at the tracks and back in the shops, damage to track surfaces, walls, & fences, and suspension of competition during cleanup (disruption of flow of races and even fuel-economy gamesmanship). And I have really hated, since the 1980s, to see my favorite racers unfairly ‘taken out’ of races by their crashing competitors, even if their uninjured. When someone whom I greatly admire and follow closely has been taken out of contention for a win, maybe taken out of a race, championship points are lost and a car is smashed, I have been mad. »→
