Thought this would be of interest to the rally community:

Yahoo! news story:

and another one:

Here is the story in our local paper. Unfortanately this happened in our neck of the woods.

In summary:

Spectators killed standing at the end of the exit of the mud hole (=standing at the end of the drag strip).
Unsanctioned racing event.
Owner not permited by the town/county for the race to take place.

It truly should be of interest to the Rally community. Any combination of Spectator tragedy and any form of MOTORSPORTS will impact the insurance rates.

Just ask an actuary.

It doesn't look like this event was covered by anything other than impending bankruptcy proceeding, community service, and possible jailtime.
