Killed

Tim Birkin[edit]

Tim was killed due to blood poisioning after being burnt from his car, does he count? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul590 (talk • contribs) 20:00, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't have a problem with that. 'Is the encyclopedia better or worse for doing it one way or the other?'Andy Dingley (talk) 20:13, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Drivers killed at stockton 99 speedway

Denny Hulme[edit]

Denny Hulme should be added to this category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.229.22.80 (talk • contribs)

No, he should not. Denny died of natural causes, he was not killed. -- Ian Dalziel 12:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

A 47-year-old driver was killed in a crash. Morton Grove race car driver killed in Sycamore Speedway. Aurora man charged in hit-and-run that killed Oswego.

Testing crashes[edit]

Race Car Drivers Killed At Daytona Speedway

There seems to be some confusion with whether this category includes drivers killed in testing. I feel it should while some feel that the phrase 'while racing' specically excludes testing crashes. -Drdisque 21:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I've put testing crashes in this cat in the past, so I agree with your position, as long as the criteria is moved onto the front page. --After Midnight0001 03:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

One page?[edit]

Why is this on 2 pages, there is such little data on page 2 it may as well be on one page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.79.201.193 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 1 October 2006

Automatic functionality of the software causes the wrap at 200. I don't believe that there is anything that individuals can do to customize this. --After Midnight0001 19:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, due to the nature of racing the second page will only get longer, not shorter, so this will be a non-issue in the future.--Senna27 15:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Not just drivers[edit]

Killed

I've added Tom Barrett (Sunbeam mechanic), even though he was a riding mechanic, rather than a driver. Editorial license suggests that the category should keep the current name, even if we stretch its scope slightly. I'm assuming that any marshals or pit crew might reasonably also qualify. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

  • I'd say riding mechanics, yes; pit crew and marshals, no. If they were in the car, they should be in this category; perhaps Category:Racing people killed during competition needs to be created (with this as a subcat) to cover the others? - The BushrangerOne ping only 00:47, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Jimmy Shampine[edit]

Died Oswego Speedway Super Modified DriverBorn: March 25, 1941 Died: September 4, 1982 Age: 41 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.99.36.51 (talk) 06:23, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Renaming the category?[edit]

How about renaming this category 'Racing drivers killed as a result of racing' to make it clear that racers who succumbed to (complications of) their (head) injuries several years later are to be included, too? I'm thinking of drivers such as Bruce Jacobi, Don Williams, Butch Lindley, Jim Robinson, and Rick Baldwin.--Fluidfellow (talk) 16:19, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Category:Racing drivers who suffered fatal accidents would be the most neutrally appropriate wording, I think. - The BushrangerOne ping only 02:43, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
'Racing drivers' could be replaced by 'auto racers' to include not just drivers but all the occupants of the car; 'fatal accidents' could be replaced by the more specific 'fatal race car accidents,' which would still include testing crashes. Unfortunately, a Category:Auto racers who suffered fatal race car accidents would also include fatal accidents suffered by auto racers using their race cars for purposes other than racing or testing.--Fluidfellow (talk) 03:13, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
