I disagree.
The great ones run hard and to win every race, heat or not.

Hey guys no more passing on the outside.
If I was expecting a slider why would I move up the track ? I'd hold my line or if anything try to stay lower.

Two fast guys driving insane cars, **** happens.
The car owner has nothing to apologize for. I admire him for having his equipment and money on the track.
