These two get ran into as much as the next guy and they usually shrug it off as hard racing and go on. As I recall Grant got ran over by Bilbee early in the feature that gave him a flat and nothing was said about it.

Grant didn't want to admit he was short and did his best to pass the buck and gave a BS answer. He knew he was short. Why, does the guy whos running that line have an obligation to lift if the other is short, hence this situation? There is a difference between contact and sending someone into the next county. That slider takes a long time to develop going uphill and decelerating where as going to a hole on entry can close quite quickly hence the Bilbee situation. I give Bilbee credit, he could have flat drilled him in the driver compartment if he continued to entry and didn't try to veer right, which just cut a LR.
