Rick Gurolnick and I were having a wonderful race. More wonderful for him than for me, because I was chasing but couldn't pass him -- he's too good. As we came through the hairpin we were lapping the

Incident #1. (as reported, I didn't see this one) Phil Cull (FV) was lapping another car and somehow they touched wheels, launching Phil HARD into a barrier backwards. I'm told he had to be cut from

Something I'd like to know about this situation is whether Dick had any kind of a scatter shield and what thickness. I've got one, but I'm thinking it may be too thin at 1/8" of steel. I was already
