I assure you there is more risk associated with driving on the street or during your typical track day.
I don't necessarily agree. Open passing in effect means "aggressive passing".. then can pass in turns or whatever. When the adrenalin is pumping and your trying to get a great time so you can "win", well that can cause errors in judgement one when/how is the best place/time to pass. Open passing is bascaly racing and I don't see that as the same as the "typical track day" (ie, open track day). NASCAR drivers are professional drivers and wad stuff up all the time.. lol

I would just think more people would be interested if it was a time-trial without the open-passing. Although that would make the event take longer since the intervals would have to be increased.

I would rather grenade and engine than smash up body panels.. I hate paint-jail. Still it sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.
