I'm not familiar with the type of track day events on the west coast or the reason for 12 crashes at one event. But we've never seen this kind of carnage at our midwest events and this includes Road America. But I think your point is it highlights the need for safety equipment and I agree.
As far as track events are races , I'd agree as far as the equipment wear and tear are concerned. But as a whole if you approach it as a race where you have to pass everyone on the track and are complaining that a slower car does not move over for you then I'd say your at the wrong place. Go do wheel to wheel instead.
Our midwest event structure will put super fast cars on the track with slow 4 cylinder cars of various makes. So everyone must drive accordingly. It is about the enjoyment factor not about who is the fastest.
Just my 2 cents worth.
