ok, maybe i'm a party pooper but how long before one of these sooped up tinnies goes off course into the spectators and injures or kills someone.

i'm all for fun but where the safety barriers?

you wouldnt run car racing without safety barriers.

So how many accidents have there been in the 36 years that the race has been in existance?

Do you ever read anything that meets with your approval or do you deliberately look on the downside of every article your read?

i do like to throw out the odd thoughts that create debate.

i also post items that are not going to create arguments.

i thought that was the idea of a forum like this, should we only discuss items we all agree on?

its all fun and games until someone gets hurt,

this is prolly a joke post, just in case anyone thinks its serious.

Definitely worth a chuckle.

A schadenfreude chuckle, admittedly, but I'm only human.
