I hear you. Heard it from many people.
And, it invariably comes from those who got their feet wet with the likes of CCA, which in the opinions of many, is just too careful - i.e. on the other end of the spectrum. "Extreme" (pun intended) in both cases.
Using my case as an example, during 3 years, I've done 20 Extreme Speed events, 20 Speed Ventures events, and single digit events with 8 other organizers that amount to 26 events. And, I don't see Extreme Speeds events as being THAT bad. Over those 20 events, I've not had a single close-call with another car or anything else that could be considered dangerous. Sure, it's the Walmart of HPDE's, but it's not an open air market place full of thugs & pick pockets in some 3rd world country.
