I have no axe to grind with Nic Faas. But this is two flips in three nights that were totally--TOTALLY--his fault. It doesn't make him a bad guy, a spoiled kid, a bad racer, a cheater or any other form of sub-species. Provided he learns from these incidents and uses a little more discipline in his racing efforts, turning dead sideways in front of Coons in turn three at Lawrenceburg and attempting a "never-ever-ever-had-a-chance"-lunge in turn one that launched Kaplan into the thin air will all be soon forgotten. I expect he'll get better. But taking the heat now is part of the process.
Oh, and the next time a driver gets out of a car after a flip like Kaplan's and Faas', and is obviously woozy/hurt/disoriented he needs to just get taken to a hospital for checkup. Whether he can correctly count all the fingers in front of him or not, we're getting closer and closer to a driver having a big wreck, showing possible concussive signs, getting the "All's Well"- and then slipping into unconsciousness forever. This is a better-safe-than-sorry scenario if I ever saw one.
I hope everyone is alright, as soon as possible. But throwing up blood is not to be taken lightly. Tests and rests are in order.
