Default And you guys thought autocross is safe...
I ran across this video this weekend, you guys probably already seem this.

Anyone know what happened to the crowd? Was everyone ok?

The organizers are morons for allowing spectators next to the hot course. Things can happen at AutoX for sure...Hopefully there was not a fatality in this video. Very sad...

I have only attended a few Autocross events but there was never any danger to spectators. Hopefully fatalities were not involved.

That is nothing compared to those Rally fans. I need to find a clip I just saw. These people were parting the road as the cars came at them! It is the only race where the fans are crazier than the drivers. The clip looks like someone set up shop in a mall parking lot.

The title pissed me off!

Was he a cone catcher that was in the wrong spot? Personally, I never stand near ANY Apexes! You got to always be on your toes!

I am complete and 100% agreement. There is nothing "LOL" about that video. I hope no one was hurt or injured. It was painful to watch.
