Murray, it would be difficult to compare the safety of club "track days" and true racing events, although I suspect the data could probably be collected to make such a comparison. I suspect that many people overestimate the risks involved in racing competition because they watch Formula 1, Indy Car and Nascar races on TV where the speeds are very high. These same people probably underestimate the risks associated with a "track day", "because after all,it's not like they are racing!"

I hope you saw fit to put a roll bar in your Spider before you go back to the track at Glenwood, whether the Porsche Club rules require it or not!
