Sure SAD news concerning the eight deaths at the California off road truck 
rally this past week end.  Watch for 20/20 Hind Sight having a big impact on 
that sport.  The trail lawyers ought to have a field day.  I doubt if the 
sanctioning body has deep pockets, but I believe the land is government 
owned.  Taxpayers may end up paying some claims.  

Hill climbs can have such issues as well.  I know the VSCDA used to do Hill 
Climbs at both Lake Geneva and Janesville in Wisconsin.  The Janesville 
event had a lot of historical significance because they used to do it in the 
1950s.  Race teams from around the country would telescope a stop for those  
events on their way to the Elkhart Lake road races.  But the VSCDA was unable 
to handle crowd control, and therefore stopped running those events.
