Honest question @taffscrivs , how long is this going to be allowed to continue? 2 more deaths so far. It's surprising that there's not more said about it.

It is a dangerous sport and ALL riders know that there is a chance they will be killed when riding this circuit. It is a chance they take and many of those killed would be turning in their graves if the circuit was modified to take out any risks of death.
