I'm not the type of person to get all panicky about the safety of Motorsport when a driver dies, but the statistics are now getting a little worrying. RIP Andrea Mamé

I was honestly thinking the same exact thing at the end of 2011 when Dan Wheldon died, along with a few other drivers after that. I mean, I agree. There have been quite a few fatal crashes recently, but the way I look at it, it's just a part of life. Tbh, when I found out that Jason Leffler died earlier this month, I was depressed for a day. I will say though that I hope that this trend doesn't keep up. R.I.P. Andrea Mame.

2011 and 2012 combined had equally as many deaths as the first half of 2013. I believe it's more sheer coincidence that these deaths have happened, but maybe the sport isn't as safe as we thought it was.

Those are my thoughts, too. While safety has been vastly improving, maybe the rare accidents that are severe enough to be fatal have just happened to occur more often in recent years. Hopefully these close, untimely deaths won't continue.

In my personal opinion. Mayhem looks better.

Although a lot of people from the NR03 community are going to summer festivals.

I liked Warped more because of the bands playing, not only the music itself but the larger number of bands. If I had more money though I'd definitely go to both. Hopefully I'll have the funds for both next year.

The Mayhem line-up was stacked with Amarth, Bodom, Machine Head, Job for a Cowboy, Zombie, Mastodon, FFDP and strong openers like Battlecross, Huntress, and Butcher Babies.

Definitely stacked, but with Warped there is Chiodos, Hands Like Houses, The Amity Affliction, The Used, We Came as Romans, Woe, is Me, Story of the Year, Crown the Empire, Secrets, No Bragging Rights, and a laundry list of bands I've been itching to see. It's really too many bands, honestly. Both have stellar lineups, unquestionably.

I've read that all are accounted for, there are injuries but mostly burns. One person in critical condition. But we'll see how it continues to unfold.

The last thing I read said 2 dead and 182 hospitalized of I believe 303. RIP to those dead, I suppose the first thing I read was an optimistic early report.

Good on him. It's a shame we won't be seeing him in the big leagues of racing, but as a musician myself I think it's great that he's pursuing his passion and committing himself to what he loves.
