Yes, Frank. I am aware of the contradictions in my statements... I'm confusing real race cars with very, very fast street cars and GT cars.

I did speak to folks who were there. Both the Lime Rock and the Blackhawk fatalities were in FV's...

Especially if "vintage" refers to both car and driver? Just guessing, but I would bet the average age of drivers in vintage races would be higher than the drivers in "regular" ones. Either way, this confluence of deaths is disturbing.

I'm not aware of a trend of current fatalities based the age of the car, at least in my informal data gathering over the last twenty five years at both Club and vintage events. Average age appears to be ten to fifteen years higher than in vintage than in Club, and I have seen more fatalities due to cardiac events in and out of the car at vintage events, but maybe because I am at more vintage events!

Do not believe that is a complete list, missing big time deaths like JD McDuffie and the 2005 PCA DE Boxster fatality at Watkins Glen.
I've been at Summit, Lime Rock, Mid-Ohio and Moroso during (and on track with, in some cases) incidents where drivers died. Not cool.
