21st Century America, that's a whole new topic...
I've always been of the opinion that you're safer on a race track than on a freeway...
Even before road rage was a thing...
In the industry I work in there may be a greater risk of injury or death than racing...
I would hope everyone that races understands the risks and would do what it takes to reduce the chance of injury...
Isn't that part of the reason for sanctioning bodies?
I think Wally would think so...
And you are correct, there is no one that looks at flywheels during tech but maybe in teardown? maybe...
