[F500] Dangerous Race Grouping

Here in the Northwest, under ICSCC sanction, we run in a group with 
everything from Formula Vee to A Sports Racers. This can be very 
intimidating but with good mirrors and a lot of common sense it can be 
done safely. The real problem is not being run over by the faster cars 
on the straights, but avoiding running over them in the braking zones 
and the corners.

Am I out of line in thinking that this is a potentialy dangerous situtation? In a worst case senerio, the size, speed and weight difference would definately put us on the losing end of things.
