Never once on track have I thought that the turbo porsche closing in on me with a 50MPH difference was just going to rear end me. Is this really a problem on a bike when there's SO much more room to pass safely? Hopefully there are at least a few schools that are run safely enough to teach the participants to prevent such a thing?
I got rearended on my motorcycle by another motorcycle on the street, and I've seen it happen at the track. It's not frequent, but it's a possibility. Hell, last time I was at Summit a guy wiped out then got ran over by another bike and broke his kneecap. It's a whole new world when you don't have a roll cage and fenders.
