Ah, any bets then that she'd tried that move before and gotten away with it?


I worked for a roundy-rounder driver in Florida who got his first win as 
a rookie when two cars kissed in front of him at the finish, and as they 
rebounded off each other and scrubbed off speed (as he admitted to me 
later), he just closed his eyes and shot the gap between them.
 

The next time it happened, the next season, he was a little cocky, and 
ran up the back of one of the cars in front of him at the finish, which 
caused his car to do a triple pirouette on its nose across the finish 
line (the tail of the car clipped off a flag on the flagman's tower that 
extended out over the edge of the track), and went end over end five 
times off of turn one.


Roundy-rounding in Florida is not so much racin' as it is egos on wheels. :)


Cheers.
