very sad--glad we got to see him race last year. R.I.P.

Have just seen the accident on the Aussie news.

A recipe for disaster, too many cars on a narrow short track with nowhere to go.

Very sad for Dan's loss, my condolences to his family.

Indy car racing has always been dangerous and will continue to be so. This accident was caused by a rookie up front who started the mess and then Weldon was run into by another rookie who wasn't paying attention. I think standards for getting a ride need to be toughened first!
