They did NOTHING to keep that from happening.
That truck hitting the wall was probably the hardest I've ever seen something
hit something else in my life.
Just talking to a few people, I found that my opinion on the
situation wasn't the popular opinion but I'm sticking to it
anyway. Here's how I see it:
There were three people to blame.
1. The guy that made the decision to not have any sort
of frequency management system in place.
2. The guy who owned the truck that crashed. He ran his
truck knowing full well that there was no frequency system
in place.
3. The guy who turned the radio on. He wasn't even competing
and had no business running a vehicle.
It's real easy to put the full blame on the guy who turned the
radio on but honestly it could have been any one of us that
could have caused someone else to crash. Can anyone say
that they walked around and made sure no one else was
on their frequency? Tell me yes and I'll call you a liar.
(Seriously, turning your receiver on and checking for servo
movement is a good idea but not much insurance.)
Can anyone say that they weren't a little worried about
someone turning a radio on and making them crash?
This is what frequency clips are for and if they continue to
run these races, they need to use clips. If they were using
clips, there would only be one person to blame. (The guy
that turned the radio on.) He should then be responsible
to fix the other guy's truck. In fact, there may not have
been anyone to blame because this whole thing probably
would not have happened.
That's my opinoin. Discuss...........
