I have nothing against risk taking - as evidenced by my parchute jumps from
jet aircraft, mountaineering and other assorted activities. However, when I
do something risky, it's always better to know the source of the risk and
try to mitigate it.
If I was going to race my Tiger I would add a roll bar, fuel cell and better
brakes before I even touched the motor.

P.S. I never buy airline flight insurance. My company triples my regular
insurance if I were to croak that way. My wife would make out like a bandit.
