I would like to think I am safer on the track than the street, but reality tells me otherwise.

Thought I'd flag this straight line for others. It's too large a target for me!

DE is structured to minimize car-to-car contact. I cannot recall an incident in a DE where there was damage to a car caused by another car directly. I have seen many single car incidents, mostly where someone pinched a trackout, and a few that were triggered by another car, such as a following car target-fixating on or following a spinner, but not one car collecting another as happens in racing. I have also seen DE incidents caused by antifreeze on the track or other similar issues. DE is a not a "safe" sport, but as we learned in motorcycle safety course, nothing is 'safe." One just needs to manage risks.
