This says it all right here. Point and case, USAC @ Haubstadt 2008.

However Shortbus is RIGHT!:thumb Just be carefull not to stop too quickly like "thebus79h" said. Brian Ruble had a terrible experience at Red Hill stopping on a red.

Remember, we don't have brake lights.

I know this thread is about manzy and other dirt tracks, but the above scenario always makes me nervous at Salem and Winchester.

Yes you have to pay attention to what you are doing.
