So, until you can show that there is a lot more racing at Reno than at an F1 event, we're going with my version, because all the available facts support me.
To make a meaningful comparison, yes, unfortunately, you do have to know. The events are not held over the same number of days and there are at least useable 8hrs on any good day, for any activity. You have no facts to support your claim that the racing at Reno is limited to a few minutes per day. The lack of facts does not support you. Err.. who is 'we'?

Either you are admitting he's right, or you have a complete lack of respect and dignity. At least an insane person would have an excuse. Whats yours?

OT, thanks for that last video that is as clear a look at the events before the crash as we will ever get. Can anyone see exactly when the tail wheel actually pops out? If it occurs preceding the over bank it could be the cause. Either that or something else broke in the trim system of which the visible sign was the separating left elevator tab moments later. Sadly I think the final results of the investigation will be speculative anyway, due to there being not enough evidence left.

Regards,
Sam.

No, I don't have to know. Both events are held over the same number of days. That's really all I need.

See how I did that? missing out one part of my statement in your quote doesn't mean It didn't get said now does it? You have no idea how much time is spent racing at Reno, so unfortunately you cannot refute my 'absurd claim'

both seasons take place across a year, that's really all I need.

I hope you can get some help with whatever is troubling you. I am going to ignore you now. Life is too short and your insensitive holier than thou bigotry is rather boring, not to mention repetitive.

Peace.
Sam.

It's all you need if you want to distort the relative danger of the 2 events. In the real world a single F1 event and a Reno event take place over a similar timespan, and, therefor, must have a similar amount of activity. Both events have qualifying, practice, and racing. It's simply not possible to have significantly more racing at a Reno event that at an F1 event.

Equating a single Reno event with an entire F1 season is completely absurd.

That's only drivers not including team members and civilians... and only F1 not the other races!

Yes in recent years safety restrictions have reduced the number of fatalities, but look at the amount of money they have that allowed them to do that and how different it is to flying.... To be perfectly honest comparing these two sports is rather foolish!

If you can think of any other spectator sport to compare it to you should post it.

I definitely have a complete lack of respect for him. If he's going to whine to me in private about Luthier not giving him any credit, then trash me in public, I'd say that he's the one lacking dignity.

fortunately your respect is something I can live without.

I didn't whine with you in private about Luthier though, I explained a perspective on a thread where you behaved just like this. This was back when I thought you could come to reason and accept the fact that people might have an opinion different from yours.

Trashing you in public on the other hand had nothing to do with that topic, but hey, I don't think it's me alone here that thinks we could well do without your presence in this forum.
