I do hate to say it, but I do think the one thing that will come out
of this is more stringent checks at the start line. I believe the
guy who checked me did "ok" but not necessarily great. He did check
my chin strap but not necessarily to make sure it was snug. He
patted my belts but didn't attempt to cinch them, which is what my
expectation was.<br>
<br>
The course worker I hadn't heard about. If it had been me. I'd have
been calling a Red Flag over the radio immediately and running with
a fire extinguisher. That might have actually put me in danger but
that's probably the military training, sense of urgency and
willingness to help others that would have kicked in.<br>
<br>
There's probably a hard lesson in there for the course worker too I
guess. We'll have to see what comes around in May.<br>

<p>Visited Charlie Friend and we discussed this. Phil's
helmet and hans were quite some distance from the car. I
mentioned that the belt checkers don't do as good a job
as SORC. They didn't check my chin strap. He might not
have.tightened it. We will never know.</p>
<p>Charlie mention that Amy cry to a course worker for
help but the course worker refuse to cross the fence and
help her and instead took some pictures. Amy tried to
put the fire out but had to step back when she started
to get burned.</p>

wrote a very unselfish letter on the SSCC
Message Board about Phil's death. While he
suggested like Amy who was navigating for Phil
that 'may' have been distracted just before
going off course there was suggestion by Bob
that Phils helmet came off his head sometime
during roll over and his HANS device which
should of been rigged to the helmet was not
and/or his chin strap may have been lose...lots
of conjecture but have to respect Phil's brother
for not blaming the road, the event or the
organizers. </div>
