A year or two ago CART held a race in Mexico I believe in a really bad rain storm. Not only was the visibility horrible to begin with, but as soon as the cars started moving it was impossible to see. Imagine only being able to make out the siloette of the flag stand on that first video. As soon as the green flag dropped someone spun a collected half of the field (usually only 24 or so cars in a Champ Car race) and littered the front straight with cars and parts. Needless to say CART cancelled the race for the day. It's unfortunate that some racing organizations are too blinded by their money and put the lives of racing teams and track crews in jeopardy.
