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.

Understood. I'm at a stage in my short career where I like to alternate between DIY and Coached HPDE's. I'm sure that I will taper off to FT DIY over time. I feel that I have seen both the good, bad and ugly with DIY HPDE's. XS draws more people & cheaper cars due to the $$. Quantity vs Quality.

Agreed, it's primarily a crowding issue.
