The courses are not dangerous

The judges design the courses and that would be Wes, Ernie and Jacob. The Mopar guy was going WAY too fast all day, IMO. It sucks that he crashed and my deepest sympathies go out to him..but you have to gauge the course and drive within the means of the course layout. Nick came in way too hot also. The courses are tight...no doubt about that. I personally would like to see them open up a little, but it is what it is right now. I feel if you don't feell safe then don't drive. It's really that simple.

i'll agree that the last 2 tracks were just a bit narrow in my opinion. i think the fact that probably 8-10 cars hit/wrecked at the last 2 events says a little something too. all i want is for more STL style courses, that one was lots of fun, perfect for exiting tandem, and pretty safe.

Isn't speed part of the judging? Just throwing that out there.

Theres a big difference between a fast entry, and just going way too fast.

Dude, Denver was WIIDDDDEEEE. People wrecked beacuse of driver error, not course design. LA was more of a commitment track, but still safe. Both courses you really had to mess up to end up in the wall.

Cody, DO NOT BE SCARED OF THE WALLS!!!!!!!! I've been watching you all season, you can do this stuff. You're scared, that's why you're not qualifying. What do I say every event? Look where you want to be, not what you might hit. I'm putting horse blinders on you for Pittsburgh

Honestly, STL was too easy with a weak entry.

Yes it is, but in the driver's meeting it was stated that the wall along the initiation was not judged. So you did not have to be right on it. Chris was initiating at the bottom of the hill all weekend. He just got too close that time.

This accident could have been way worse. If NOPI had used the cheesenut KRail like Miami, Chris would have ended up in the crowd.
