I agree with your thoughts Bubba...as a racer I think we all feel it when a fellow racer gets badly hurt or dies. I remember once at Thunderhill Park I got tangled up with another car and ended up at a dead stop on the other side of a blind hill, directly sideways, with a stalled car. Fortunately my passenger side was the side exposed to oncoming traffic. I'll never forget nervously cranking the motor and breathing a sigh of relief as oncoming cars saw the flagger and avoided me while I was doing this. Watching the flags is so very important. I was able to get the car fired and did not finish last! I hope none of you guys end up in that situation, it is one of the worst in racing.
