Indycar should retain the banked ovals with a clear ban on tracks like 'dega still in effect of course.
The next accident a few years down the line could be just as much another Laguna or Toronto than a Fontana or a Vegas. Especially given Indycars growing infatuation with all things street, a whole slate of Torontoesque crowd pullers are in prospect. Getting rid of the banked tracks outright is the easy reaction but would serve no purpose but to distract us from proactive safety innovation at the track and on the cars.
