The only thing I can add to this tragedy is that we have to remember that the Fontana infield has walls. And only the desceleration killed these poor souls. Not the lack of safety equipment, roll cage, fire suits and helmets, not the lack of safety marshals, but just the sheer speed of that car against a wall. The chicane on the front straight really is take under full acceleration, if i recall well, so doesn't slow things down much. 165 mph and into a wall. Greg Moore died in the same way in the oval, against an inside wall after flying over the grass at probably 200+mph. Too many fatal accidents in Fontana, too many walls.
