I built a push ????? bug?? w/ a spring loaded bumper, my driver loved it  . Said never felt a thing, said he waved & away we went

JimmyJeep works with us frequently. He was based out of Florida for years but has since relocated to Indiana. He will be working at his 105th different race track this Saturday.
If you noticed last night, there were two times a midget driver took a sharp left turn on me and I had to bail on him to avoid climbing his left rear tire. We can only steer the push truck, not the race car. We do not have the same quick turning radius as a midget. I wish they would all keep that in mind when we are turning them around on the track to refire them. A four wheeler is able to match that quick turn but our trucks are not. Unfortunately they aren't always there when we need them.
