    that sucks to have that happen to you.

    For my own knowledge, arent we supposed to stay in the car, buckled up, until the safety crew comes for us,........... unless we are on fire?

    Yes, unless you can see a corner who is instructing you to get out and get to safety.

    Too bad about that crash. Who was the driver of the Sportsracer that cut in front of Brandon? You could see him go left, then Brandon turned left with smoke coming from his tires.

    Man that blows you got collected doing nothing wrong. Looks like the two guys on the outside of the turn decided you really could win it on T1 lap 1.

    That just plain sucks!! 10 seconds to run into stupidity with no where to go. I hope the rest of your season makes up for this race weekend.

    Good luck, I'll see you when the snow melts up here in the North around June.

    Ya, I keep watching it hoping the outcome will be different, but no such luck (lol).

    Just about done with repairs, but will not make it to Sebring in time.

    See you all soon.

    Brandon has sports racer all over his right front wheel. You can see that he was hit from outside and had no place to go.

    Yeah. We also have video from the Atlantic behind Brandon. We just got in from the track.

    #16 FA really checked up in front of Mclaughlin- wonder if he saw Dixon getting dive bombed by the sports racer.

    Default Holy Crap

    Yeah, just seeing this for the first time on vid - I can't believe I made it through the carnege w/ all the cars everywhere.
    Socks huge for Billy, just minding his own business when WHAM upside the head from 7 miles away.
    HUGE blunder for the DSR driver, a guy that should know better for sure.
    Bad deal all around.
    Missed you guys at Sebring, but youda just been miserable as we all were with the weather.
    Hope you get it together quick.
    Onto Roebling in March!

    March must seem like a wonderfully long time off considering all the hecticness you've been through in the last month.
