And this is why there is the problems there are
It is not riders, this is far, far worse as this affects insurance and councils and the very people that you ask to run races. They might be willing, but the world is now run by insurance companies and lawyers, they decide what you can and cannot do.
It has literally grown out of its environment sadly, only the very biggest races will survive and it will not be long before rallying follows the same route, luckily there incidents involving spectators are few and far between.

"Following the serious incident that occurred during the final lap of last night’s practice session, the Southern 100 can confirm that the remainder of the event is now cancelled. The Clerk of the Course has taken the decision to cancel the remainder of the event due to the ongoing investigations and this continues to be the priority of the organisation."

Thoughts with all concerned 
Is the Southern circuit that scary/dodgy to ride then?
Also will you be racing at Cadwell August bank holiday?
I didn't enjoy it. It's very tight and walls everywhere. With it being a mass start. It's a bit wild. Is the Southern circuit that scary/dodgy to ride then?

It is such tragic news what has happened and I do wonder what the future will hold for road races next year.

I'll try and pop up on the 6th to say hello, ask stoopid question and generally get under your feet.
