I had a front row seat to that event. Great job Chris but a disappointment for us all when you went out.

When I broke the front axle and blocked the left front wheel from that, I felt lucky that I made the car going round the corner to the front straight.

Wouldn’t made me happy to touch any guard rails.

Cheers

Back when the “blue bush” was installed, many of us no longer raced there... originally the fence was literally at the edge of the track surface all the way around the track.

It was like racin in a blue alley...drop a wheel and total your car as it pinballed across the track.

Never raced there again

  You guys have a lot of nothing down there, sure makes it easier to avoid stuff. At Watkins Glen, with the guardrails about one car width off the track, it's more like

          Whenever you start to spin it’s two feet in. I’ve been in a few situations where other drivers have tried to save a spin by not following this advice and they always come rolling across the track backwards following an unpredictable path usually collecting a few unsuspecting racers along the way.  Always go two feet in.
