You bring up an interesting point. . .it will be interesting to see what
CART does now. Maybe they will realize that they may have made a mistake
and have to rethink how to slow these cars down. Hopefully F1 will take
note and maybe change their minds too. It would be a shame to just have
something like this happen again say next season. I think there have
been more than enough accidents this year.
