I agree with you marine, but sometimes with some activities it is decided by those involved that a line has been crossed.

In the mid 80s when group B rally cars were deemed too fast to race, the drivers also all signed a petition demanding that they would not race any more until the crowds got under control.  This is what those conditions were and I believe the drivers were right.

I remember watching Great American Truck Racing in the late 70's, early 80's. When it started, they were regular trucks right off the Interstate. As the series progressed, the trucks became more modified. Unfortunately, it didn't catch on and the series died after a few years. But it was cool while it lasted.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I remember NASCAR racing when the teams actually drove a car that resembled stock.

 :O  What kind of idiot stands in the middle of a road when there is a race car coming down it? 
I mean... just... whuh?!  Vehicle, on the knife edge of control driven by a guy who is focusing all his attention on not spinning/sliding out of control on the road while going as fast as possible.  And you want to stand in his way?!
