Speaking of tracking crashes: When I was a little kid I met Willie Borsch at Tri City Dragway (Saginaw-ish, Michigan).

The car had a little US map on the turtle deck and there was a "flame" representing every place he crashed.

In 2010 a casual friend, an MIT engineering grad who worked in John Deere tractor development, died when he lost control of his Viper and went sideways into a guard rail.
He had a small collection of Corvettes and hi perf motor cycles, with some amateur racing experience. - Bill W
