      ⁠​⁠@@DespaceMan The Baja races have fatalities every year. Last year most notable was a driver going over a cliff. The Baja races are the most dangerous races in North America, for both driver and spectators, there are wavers to be signed for those spectating in the regulated spots, and then you got those spectating along the routes in the unregulated areas. It is an insane set of races.

    It still baffles my mind that spectators still to this day give drivers no room for error, so if a mistake was to happen it will be a complete yardsale of bodyparts flying everywhere...
    Personally I never feel sorry for people who willingly do dumb things like that, I feel sorry for the drivers who have to keep up with this shit because it just adds more pressure to the race, and not in a good way.
    So to anyone wanting to spectate try to imagine yourself as a driver, and ask yourself what you would have wanted...

    Years ago, I wrote to Sal Fish about creating a safety committee for Score, and he agreed that something should be done. We had some back and forth on the subject, but I could see that his attention was divided in a dozen ways, and ultimately, nothing happened. The potential for a mass casualty event in this race is enormous.
    Once it happens, it will be international news. Getting insurance for ANY event will be difficult after that. It could ruin off road racing forever. Every year, I hope for the best. Every year, a spectator or two is injured or killed. It flies under the radar. Once a truck rolls through a crowd of spectators, the focus of the international media will expose every deficiency possible. The untamed race will be relegated to a short track, and Baja racing will be dead forever.

    lol can you imagine setting up chairs and a tent and a grill and coolers. start grilling up some burgers and 3 seconds later your laying 20 feet away in the dirt like wtf happened. get up and look at your setup and its all totally destroyed by a baja trucks rolling through what was your old camp. but is now just a pile or trash.
