I don't think any reasonable person would qualify driving over 100 MPH with 3 other cars and actively passing each other as "Safe". It is racing and racing has risks. That is why it was on his bucket list. They could have easily drove around in a single file line going less than 70MPH and gave him a safe ride. I am betting that is not what he wanted or what he paid for. This is nothing more than an unfortunate side effect of racing.
Joe, without ever attending one of TDE events, or sat in a race car at speed, this is probably one time you should NOT have posted.
