Pikes peak, you’re going to sit where?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I was watching this a bit ago

and I cant help wonder what the hell are the spectators thinking sitting just off the coarse there. I love watching racing like the rest of us, but I am not sure I need to sit right at the corner with nothing to stop the out of control car other than a little dirt mound. I know these guys are great drivers but it only takes a slight miss or a blown tire and you are in for a bad day. I know it must be a rush, but I will take mine eating my ice cream too fast and sitting on the couch watching it on TV

I've seen that race quite a few times on TV, but never had that view point... Wow...
