[RACER X #99]

Steve,
Got to agree with you about Open Tracking with an open top car, it is very dangerous and as we can tell by what has happened to Lou it can really hurt you.
But so are other hobbies dangerous, every year many are injured for life, skiing, rock climbing, skin diving and many other sports.

I know many guys like youself who are accomplished road racers yet they will not get into a Cobra or any other open type racer.

I certainly would not try to talk anybody into Road racing a Cobra if I thought they had fear of doing so. It is just that some guys and girls are more risk takers than others and the thrill of high speed adventures outweighs their fears. They're is nothing shamefull about being fearful of something as I am real afraid of high places and climbing ladders which I have to do scares the crap out of me.

Certainly not trying to play down Lou's injury's and I hope for a successful recovery.
