I'm going to go with "RACE"
I agree with Bret 100% also the difference between a Motorsport event and it being a race is the multiple cars on the track battling for position. the fact that the time sheet still makes it a race should be evidence enough of the level of competition.
BUT I agree the SAFETY should be paramount, I think to date there have not been any catastrophic incidents at any of the events mentioned, and that is probably due in part to the level of competitors and the tech inspections to some degree, I think they could be tougher but that is me. it is hard to have ALL the safety stuff and still have a street car, especially the roll cage. but who want to be upside down with out one??? the safety part does add cost to the build but I have never understood the guy who will spend ALL the money on the motor and NONE of the money on a helmet???? the last thing I want is to end up lying in a hospital bed on Monday morning!!!
it's all in good fun
shiny side up
