I think there's a world of difference between pushing the car hard, overstepping the limits, and stuffing it vs some jackass divebombing you into a turn, losing it and sliding off the track and hitting you.

Obviously that guy hasn't hit anyone, but his driving seems to leave a lot to be desired.
Don't get me wrong I've done plenty of high risk things and I cannot afford to replace my Z either. Last time I drag raced I had Mickey Thompson DG's and half way down the track my rear end went out from under me and I started fish tailing badly. Not only did I almost kiss the wall but almost took out the ford lightening beside me. That would have been a nightmare that I would have been paying for for a long long time. But fortunately I was able to counter steer and correct and straighten the car back out. A week later Dom totalled his at the track. I havent been back since. Not that I won't ever do it again just not right now.
