This happens, you cannot police a 50 mile course. Most of these smaller races are not big money trucks.

Its very sad for the familys involved and for the driver of the truck. There is one thing that needs to be clarified. It does not appear that the spectators were throwing rocks at the driver and it also does not appear that he fled the scene.

Its a blast to be able to get so close to these trucks when they are racing. You have to be careful.

If you think Desert racing is dangerous here you should go to some of the mexican races.

Very sad indeed but I certainly hope it does not do anything detrimental to the sport of desert racing
