Mosport, Grattan, Road America.....I am unaware of another year like this 
since I started vintage racing in 1991.

I was at Moroso for one fatality and again at Summit Point.  One was a 
contact with a light pole in the infield, and another was an apparent heart attack 
at speed.

It may reflect the enormous growth in popularity of vintage racing.

The EAA convention typically has at least one fatality related to the event, 
just on shear numbers. The reality MAY be that Vintage Racing is still safer 
than spending a day in a large city.

Just a thought.   </HTML>
