Death by temper.
Dude should've never gotten out of his car and walked in the middle of the track. Not saying what Tony did was okay, just that the whole thing was avoidable. Sucks. R.I.P. Kevin Ward Jr.
No way this was intentional. Racers look out for each other. It is unfortunate this person's temper got out of control and he paid the ultimate price for it. Stay cool and stay in the car.
Looks to me like Tony was behind another car when he came back around, probably didn't even see the guy until he was right on him. Terrible, and totally avoidable. TS really shouldnt be doing this level of racing, he's too big of a target for these guys to make a name for themselves. Sad.
Agree. Tragic for everyone involved.
Hate to be flip about this, but getting out of your car and running all over a live race track means an automatic Darwin nomination.
I don't think that's being flip.Quote:

That's what expert witnesses are for. Jury of your peers means breathing bipods. Not much other qualification. The whole justice system is the lowest common denominator of mankind.Quote:

Rule one, some one died so someone (with dead pockets) pays. I hate it but it's true.
