[RACER X #99]

Bob,
Back when Richard Pettty was driving in Nascar he always ran high on the track and close to the guardrail. His explination was that if you ever blow a tire you want to be as close to the fence as possible so you don't hit it so hard. It makes sense to me but to some others its an excuse. I have seen more inexperienced guys crash at tracks with plenty of grass runoff areas because they didn't worry about the guardrails and drove in way past their talent.

The downhill right turn heading for the main straight at LRP scares me more than the Armco at the Glen.
