My issue finally arrived today and I read this article.  My thoughts were similar to Tony's.

I almost laughed when the question about how can a first timer possibly spin.  They may be some of the most likely ones since they are still "street" drivers and may be getting a little information overload.  They may be a little intimidated of the track or simply try to impress their instructor or maybe they think that they're better than they are and don't listen to their instructor.  Regardless, I'm surprised there aren't a few more spins in green, but that is truly testament to Brian Smith and our instructors.  There may not be expectations of the Club or instructor, but they probably have their own expectations.

As for the severity of the incidents, I really don't think that having track insurance is the cause.  Currently, we have more car on the track plus the cars are much faster, even in the lower run groups.
