I was at Sunday's race by far the most exciting moment of the actual V8 Supercar race was the first turn, the remaining laps were just a great big procession of loud cars with pretty paint work. Gone are the days of side by side action down the main straight, three wide into corners, etc... Props to the support races that actually make the event worth going to (I got the tickets free anyways).

You clearly didn't watch any of the race then.....

Ok ok... Maybe that was a little bit of an exaggeration; the race did have it's moments (restarts, pits, etc..), but I have seen much more entertaining races!
There were moments that had me scratching my head though (such as the dancing XXXX Angels, wtf?)

I wouldn't call what they do 'dancing'. stumbling around (probably on the sponsors product) seems more accurate.

They were at the Gaming & Hospitality Expo up here a few weeks ago, wandering around giving out bottles free. Was the end of the event and they had overstocked, so free booze out to all. Not just XXXX, either :) Somewhat anorexic, most of them.

Another example of motorsport gone wrong, strangely, the yanks didn't overreact, nothing changed after this happened Flying tyre kills fan at dragster meet

Also, the family did not sue. Must have been tourists :p

I've watched the footage several times and it doesn't give much away as to HOW that car ended up on its roof by the end of a straight??

Freak accident, very lucky nobody was killed but they may want to reconsider the safety fencing in that area.

I was working on a bar both days, apparently the guy clipped another car, causing the crash.

does lol'ing make me a bad person?

Not at all. How many can honestly admit they go to watch motor sports for the thrills and spills? Just like the drivers, crews and support personal we all know it is dangerous but go anyway.
