Sad for both of the injured persons and their families. I'm just trying to understand what happened because that's how my mind works, but I apologize if I offended anyone by doing that.

Apparently they were CCW that day. At first I thought he must have lost it cresting 12 but the station is so far away. Maybe he misjudged 11, went four off and didn't lift.

Disagree completely. By that logic, we shouldn't have passengers in our street cars either. They're a distraction. Ride alongs happen all the time at the track without incident. As a fellow driver, you can learn a lot riding along with someone else. Very important learning tool.
