One of the commonly asserted advantages (and even disadvantages) of tracks is that you don't have anything like the number of unexpected hazards that you do on the road. There are no sheep, tractors pulling out, cars on your side of the road, trucks dumping diesel and such like.
Pffft, sure he's done a shit job of it but he raises a valid and underdiscussed point. You've espoused the values of track days on plenty of occassions but I've never seen you advise a potential track dayee that they are in fact risking their pride and joy to the recklessness of other attendees. Surely this should be a matter of consideration if you consider it par for the course for all track based events?
Except it occurred on a race track. Likely also at speeds higher than the prescribed open road speed limit. I could understand the grievance if this was a basic handling course in a carpark going around cones but it wasn't. I could understand the grievance if there was damage or consequnces that are still somehow avoidable but they're not, the damage is done.
Give the cunt a chance anyways. There's every chance they'll learn of this soon-to-be-epic thread, at which time they'll either man up, or emigrate to Australia. AMCC should have a contact number for him.

I got a better one!
... sorry, why'd you crash, again?
Excellent, that'll make the cops' job a lot easier.
Oh, no, wait, you were on a racetrack.
Still a hell of a lot safer than riding on the road.
The OP snapped a coupla wee bones and has his arm in a sling. Beats going under a logging truck or hitting a power pole with your spine.

The odds may be better but it appears that the stakes are in fact much higher. Don't get me wrong, none of this will put me off taking my bikes on the track or a nuclear propelled submarine, but if what you've suggested is in fact as much the case as that track days can improve your skills then I think it should be more widely known.
