The thing I have noticed in racing is, that act would be considered the "norm" as opposed to the "exception" back in the pits. No body want to beat a fellow racer because their car was broke and in the pits, they want to beat them on the race track. Darnded bunch of people I have ever ran across.

Them fights they talk about are usually started by other folks in the pits who aren't really associated with the racers. When left to the drivers, they may sometimes hold a grudge and at other times might not give as much as they would normally, but most of them know that in racing Stuff does sometimes happen.

I have often seen drivers rush up to the offended driver and offer apologies right after the race is over for a stupid brain fart. Another thing to think about most deals on the race tracks aren't thought about, race drivers don't have time to think most of those action are instinct and reaction developed with seat time>seat time>seat time.

Maybe if we played up this stuff a little more like Nascar does we might entice more of that type fan to the races that enjoy that kind of racing action, and a buck is a buck.
