This is from a report on the Indy 500.
>>31 year old Townsend Bell, from San Francisco, California, finished in
the 22nd >>position. His Rock & Republic car suffered suspension problems
late in the race after >>he made contact with a cone trying to avoid
contact with Sam Hornish Jr.
>> Both drivers were ordered back to the pit lane as penalties for
leaving with equipment >>attached during pit stops.
>> "I couldn't believe that we bent our suspension on a rubber cone at
60 miles per >>hour," Bell said. "It was my mistake and such a stupid way
to end."
Observation: Young Mr. Bell leads a sheltered life.--John Kelly
