I announced the NEMA midget races for 25 years. Every once in a while a kid came along who caused a lot of complaints. Invariably, those kids turned out to be good drivers. My impression is that a talented, aggressive , fast driver can learn to be smooth. But, if you don't have those talents up front, you're never giong to be a good one.
I always hate to criticize a driver, because I've never done it. But, I think a driver with TK's experience should have been able to cope with that situation. After all, he'd just been passed on the outside!
However, I'm still never going to be a fan of those cars. They are too touchy, and too hard to save once they get a little sideways. In general, I find that when the track & car allow flatfooting through the turns, the show is uninteresting.
