its only annoying when people in "faster" cars hold you up in corners (ex. i've almost been wrecked by a porsche cup car braking in the middle of T12 before and they should be a lot faster than my car)...dealing with faster and slower traffic is just a part of multi-class racing and you learn how to manage it and how to use it to your advantage...

No joke. Stevie Wonder must have been behind the wheel with Helen Keller giving directions.

No joke, that dude came close to a couple of serious offs...especially driving on the grass down the front straight, that could have been ugly, an somehow he made it all the way through the sand at 11 and up to the bridge?

He never lifted when he went off at 12. It looked like he overslowed going into T.1 and that gave the camera car some breathing room.

Maybe he thought it was Rally racing time or something. I guess he doesn't watch the rally crashes on youtube or google video to find out what happens. The best part about it, he drives a truck and trailer to the race track.

PS You guys would laugh at all the cars in the ditch because of the snow. The highway I live off is prefectly straight for 10 miles, I didn't count but most likely 15 cars and trucks off in 10 miles
