I was at an HPDE this weekend, and could not thank my instructor enough. From what I hear this was at a Hyperdrive, where the student hadn't spent much time on track. I don't really like hyperdrive since you have a limited amount of time to drive compared to an HPDE weekend event, your friends are there watching you, and you don't have enough time to warm up your car / tires / brakes and learn the course. I'd be afraid that people will drive beyond their limits. My condolences to the family, I would never have the balls to ride in the passenger seat with someone I just met.
Hyperdrive is a great way to get people converted from street racing / poseurs to attending HPDEs and track days though.
Also at hyperfest this year, people threw full beer cans onto the track when it was hot at passing cars. I went to hypertrash once in the past, then stopped going.
