BT, is the rumor true that you coincidentally sneezed at just the right time, causing you to inadvertently (but luckily) move the wheel and miss the accident?

I believe he was given a "NASCAR Nudge" from behind on the right rear. But damn the facts, lets bring him in! (if he isn't already??? We need a roster)

I must be missing some software or have a setting off . . . it wouldn't load for me. All I saw were thumbnails and titles, but no video.

Also, you may have to rename the file to ra.m4v so that it has the proper extension

As Bull said, there was contact.

He is already a teammate, AND my Arch-Nemesis. I'm not saying if the contact and spin were the result of Turtle Black Magic.

Doug did win the E Class sprint over something like 27 other cars...

No, that is not true.

Actually, I always close my eyes at the start, and the spin occured just as I finally opened them. I screamed "Holy ****!" and just started turning wheels and switches.
