    Problem is we've got some many perspectives and there are going to be conflicts.

    One side- Will defend organizers and friends till the end
    Another side- The outside automotive enthusiast sees it merely as an accident
    Another side- Outsiders that arent quite enthusiasts think that someone should be held accountable

    No, the problem is that people can't even let things die down some and Matt recover some so people can think more logically about this before they start posting shit on IA and trying to place blame. That is the whole reason I wasn't saying shit about this whole thing until "Driverx" made an appearence. People on here make me sick.

    Understandable bro, and I didnt mean to offend you. But after a situation like this, people are going to ask questions, and wonder what we can do in the future to prevent this. Along the way things might be said that might insinuate some things, but in the end, its just text over the computer. People are allowed to voice their opinions, because if they weren't progress would never be made.

    We aren't arguing in front of him? Its just a discussion, if people arent ready to talk then dont log on. If the admin team doesnt want any discussions about it then they can start the deletion of these types of threads.

    Nobody here has disrespected Matt or any of the Drift Fury organizers. (To my knowledge)

    You cant plan for everything. What happened to Matt was very unfotunate but couldnt have been predicted. I work in the construction and each year I see several people get injured or killed. I have seen 2 people get killed this year and it just shows that you cant prevent everything. The blame game is useless. That accident could have very easily been much worse. Lets just be thankful the dude is ok and has a chance to recover

    True, but a lot can be learned from it and used to help prevent this from happening again.

    I haven't met Matt yet, but I hope for the best for him.

    okay so just to clarify things

    a 240 understeered and hit a photographer that was too close to the side line ( well, not to say too close, but, just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time ) during practice?
