I read some of the comments including one by someone who makes some points about there being a First Aide Station and EMT personnel on top of the mountain. To me what needs to be looked at is the issue of is it feasible to get a helo up there in a reasonable time frame or have ambulances closer? Was there adequately trained personnel in range? While cost is an object the folks in $20K E30's are not representative any more of all the participants. There is manufacturer participation and they can afford "sponsorship" fees to provide better organization of this event. There will always be a risk involved with motorsports but the duty should be that the owners/organizers of events/tracks make sure that the event is "safe"
It's the fifth death in 100 years. I'm not saying they shouldn't change something so they can be better prepared, but I also don't think they need to go crazy with expensive changes that could change the entire face of the event.
