Thanks for posting it.
It reminds me of how when it rains when we're racing Sears Point we
would all head up to turn 2 to watch the start of the I.T. race.
Why? Because it was the lowest cost class to start racing in, so it had
a lot of drivers, and most of the inexperienced drivers. Turn 1 at Sears
isn't much of a turn, but in the rain, there is *always* a wreck in turn
2 on the first lap of an I.T. race.
I'm sure Lefty has his own stories along those lines.
Oh, and that bit about not watching races for the crashes? It's
nonsense. Racers watch races for the crashes. In order of preference:
1) rear view mirror
2) from the sidelines
3) through the windshield
