Roger, i agree with you, can only be bad press either way, if it was private property, there is no law to stop a minor driving but you have to question if they should have been driving there and what trainng they had to do so, Ashame someone got killed, but i think as most of us are sensable human beings, we relise that any off roading, possably some of the harder lanes aswell, along with any form of motor sport can be dangerous, dosnt take high speed to kill, but it is a calculated risk we take.
I have said it before, about some of the sites i have been too, that there is far too many minors (unlicensed) kids driving around, sometimes with very little regard for others, although some have been very responsable and SUPERVISED RESPONABLY, Dont know about here in England, but any death in a motor vehicle in NZ on a professional site (track/pay and play whaterever) is investigated by the police and charges if required are layed.
Still ashame that anyone died.
Cheers
