Seriously, your comments are appreciated since there's no other way to get an open discussion going and these are pretty serious issues, here. A good safety record is essential and the only way to achieve that is to start with every rider in full understanding of fair play and good sportsmanship -- track etiquette I guess it's called. Some DOCC volunteers dispaired of the crashing that can happen anywhere and thought that a heavy clamp-down would regain order. Maybe, maybe not. I think you and I can agree that the only way to maintain order is with all riders being self-managed and having full buy-in to track etiquette and the "All for one and one for all" ethic of ensuring all riders have fun, all of them/us. so, whether or not DOCC events are near the industry average is rhetoric, what's important is how do we all learn how to occupy the track together and do so safely. I think we need to work on that and the answers are not so simple as copying but doing the due diligence and asking the hard questions.
Thank you for yours, we can work with that, too.
Cheers,
