This brought to mind a couple thoughts: Sometimes I actually like that kind of swagger, especially when the athlete (racer) can back it up with his performance. It adds a little spice to the proceedings, etc. But, knowing what I know about McCarl, all seeing that did was piss me off. What a ******. Secondly, I don't know if any of you have seen the clip I'm talking about, but McCarl's left arm was waaaay out of the car. Like, well past the elbow. I kept rewinding the DVR to look at it again, because I couldn't believe just how much range of motion he had. It sure looked like he wasn't even wearing arm restraints, and if he was there was either way too much slack or he was wearing the cuff up close to his shoulder. My point is that he's obviously quite foolish for improperly (if at all) wearing his restraints. His arms shouldn't be able to get much at all beyond the cage. After more consideration, I realized that if McCarl actually drove real sprint cars for a living instead of ones with crutches on top, he'd be forced to be more concerned about things like arm restraints.

I watched him run wingless at eastbay and do actually pretty decent.. Not a T-mac fan, but i dont dislike the guy either.. He sure as hell isnt afraid of the gas pedal..
