I might add that Nelson Piquet wasn't
afraid of the wall either. He ran the track
and the wall bit him hard, crunching his
feet and legs much like what happened to
Rick Mears when his Penske went into the
pit barrier at Sanair in the mid 80's. Terry
Trammel and the doctors at Methodist
Hospital did their usual expert job at
putting Nelson back together much like
they did for Mears and Shirley Muldowny,
but it effectively ended Piquet's career.
Piquet simply shrugged it off and said,
"that's racing."
