Wyatt has written an opinion piece about the open road race that takes place in our town.

SILVER STATE CHALLENGE

The Silver State Racing Challenge affects the community by shutting down the highway so people can’t push cows and every year someone gets hurt or dies.

I think we can fix this problem by making safer cars and making sure who’s driving can get out of the car in time or if they die on impact make better helmets and gear.

There have been 3 or 4 times someone has died.  Like this year someone burned to death.   Here are the years people have died: 2014 2012 2010.  My mom says “You would think they would stop doing the races because so many people have died.” Justin says, “It’s cool watching, but it’s very dangerous.”  He thinks they should not stop the race, they just need better equipment.
