Tyler Flynn knows how to drive a non wing car with out driving like he is in a stock car with fenders, unlike at least 1 driver I saw Sat. night.

How does a stock car driver drive on a dirt track? I saw a bunch of 1000cc midgets out there doing a heck of a good job racing one another pretty darned clean and real real close.
I think they had a thread about Bloomington and a black flag somewhere on here. This stuff does happen in open wheel it's part of what we do.
We got charged a little bit there at the last part of the race but chose to back off and not make an issue of it at other times we might choose to close the door. That is what racing close is, and sometime if the driver misses a few inches at 80 mph you get contact.
Most of these guys don't have a lot of non wing experience and when they drive down in there and that big old side board isn't there to lean on they get into trouble. They are learning and at the same time putting on one heck of a show for the crowd.
Our job is to convince the track promoters we have a product equal to or better than sprints or midgets and without push trucks and a lot of wasted time with reds and yellow flag laps and restarts. These guys don't screw up very much and the last three our four laps of last nights race was as good as any midget races I have watched in a long time.
Where did that Darned Ambrose guy come from??
