This is an incredibly inappropriate post. But I’m not surprised. If someone passed away in this incident I will request that the moderators permanently ban you.

If being a douchebag was a banning offense, you would have been gone long ago.

Someone, a corner worker who came out from behind the wall to wave the yellow to indicate a surface condition, was struck and killed by the left rear corner of the white car visible in the distance (the car lost control on the oil leading up to the impact), the orange car crashed about five seconds later left of the impact with the corner worker.

I think it's incredibly inappropriate to splash this all over RL.

yesyoucan, are you Sergey?

Really inappropriate photos (and odd comments) posted by yesyoucan.

Not sure what you meant by your comment, but when I go on track at a DE, I know I am fully responsible for anything that happens to me or my car, regardless of the cause of any incident, and I'm fully OK with that risk. If I don't want that risk, I will stay off the track. I understand that no one may assist me or apologize to me if they do something that causes impact to my car. Having said that, it's a collegial gesture to assist and express concern after an incident, but don't think it should be mandated.

Well I missed it, but if noyoucant posted something that offended Coochas, he/she has set a new standard of inappropriateness. One that lets hope will never be seen again.

Show this video:

Ask the following:

1) How many of you participants are aware that if a car hits into you then you are on your own to pay for your damages
2) Do you want the waivers changed to say that one is at financial risk if they are the cause of the accident (I'll be that 95% of the people will raise their hands)
3) For those that are the other 5%, what is your justification at a D.E. event that you can drive however you feel and hit into someone that you should have no responsibility
4) For the 95% - Do you want those 5% that didn't raise their hand. Do you want them on track with you?
5) For the 95% - would you pay higher track fees for the fees that we would have to refund to the 5 to 10 participants of the 100 or so at this track day who feel they should have no responsibility (i'm betting that they will all say yes)
So if 95% of us vote for you to leave you'll go?
