People also need to think about their brakes, which are arguably more important (doesn't matter what suspension you have if you can't slow down). I wonder how many of the people there had bled their brakes within the past year...

When my car was moving, and I drove the Dragon, I braked very early (enough time to be safe if my brakes failed) and went around the turns quickly, but nowhere near the limit of my car. And guess what? I still had a blast.
More so yet TIRES!! Not trying to draw attention to it, but you saw the blow up pic, the tire was obviously worn out, it's an early year meet, and most people haven't had the time to go over their cars and get all the stuff done that needs to be done, like a full tune up, bleeding brakes, new tires if need be, money and time don't always allow.

We all want to experience it so in certain situations we will let things slide. Suspension, brakes, and tires should not be something we ignore, I had a blow out because I rode on old tires, and I will never do it again, good tires are invaluable.

Just my opinion
