In racing Pro-IT the first season, I think I had contact twice. In racing a
full season in Spec Racer Fords I probably touched (side to side) a couple
of times--bump-drafting excluded--...did pretty well too. Two full seasons
in 500s- ONE touch- One time... In the video of the the Miata Race, I
counted THREE contacts on the first two laps! Completely run off course two
more times...On and on.
I would certainly have to race that way if Miatas (NASCAR-LITES) were my
only choice available.
But, as of now, they're not.
I prefer to pass (or be passed) with skill, not that touchy-feely
way...Open wheels kind of insist on that though, don't they?
Anyway, so what! Do YOUR PART!
Go out and RACE A FEW NATIONALS !!!!!!!!!!!!...

f500 guys would push each other like that if they had fenders and
bumpers too, don't kid yourself.
