Okay so maybe its a good idea to have the corner marshals make sure those sharp corners at races are cleared. Hood River was a close call. And it would help to have officials walking the track and watching the cars to see what areas cause the most safety issues. If anything just ask the corner marshals if the cars are cutting it close om their radios.

As much as I hate to say it, who in their right mind is going to stand in front of a moving car doing maybe 30mph? As far as "dangerous" corners, any and every corner in racing can be dangerous. As a driver, if there's a corner you feel is very dangerous, let the officials know so they can have the corner marshals warn spectators in that area. Something I learned when working for a racing school was that you will follow where your eyes are pointed. Granted, if the driver had the brakes locked up, etc, either way, I garuntee you he was looking at the person he was going to hit. People think electrathon racing is super safe and that you're totally invincible. Anyone that wants to disagree with me can jump out of a moving truck at 30mph and tell me how that feels.

The woman that was hit on the corner at Hood River had been told to move by the corner marshalls at least 3 times and she refused. She wa also told by others how dangerous it was to be there. To make things even worse, she also stepped over 2 of 3 sets of barriers to get closer to the track and get a better view. I'm not sure what else the corner marshalls, race officials, etc. were to do. If they physically removed her she could have sued. Any suggestions for the future??? Mike

Yeah I was there =s
There will always be people that think slower a tad bit more than others

At the races, the tracks with dangerous corners could have caution tape maybe?

Maybe warn them and if they don't move make them sign a waver so they might get the clue? Apart from that I do not know what else could happen.

Caution tape wouldnt hurt. Signing a waiver would be difficult with the event on public streets so anyone and their mother can just walk up to the edge of the track.

What I ment to say is tell them first and if they refuse to move from the potential danger have them sign it saying that they were warned.
