That wasn't my fault. I'm hoping the injuries heal before next months event.

Do ever wonder why you see so many you tube videos from Russia/Poland with vehicles crashing on highways ? Alcohol, underage, and just plain crazy drivers. Maybe good that some had a limiter placed on their rides on the latter stages. Nuff said!

For the record I was shunted into the wall by one of two cars whacking into each other as I was overtaking with a good margin of speed on an clear outside line when one of the two made a left 90 degree into me. After that I was along for the ride. All in all though i feel great today.

I understand that feeling. It might be a plan to have a Rennie drivers meeting prior to the track drivers meeting so everybody is on the same page as what constitutes proper track etiquette. Last night it seemed a bit of a bumper car at a carnival.

Reminded me a little of the 6 ticket bumper car ride at the Ex back in the day. Definitely agree with some prior agreement on etiquette (like not just using the car in front of you to slow you down, or practicing the PIT maneuver because it looked so cool on that episode of COPS)...
It was nice to see some old faces out again though (Mark, we are getting you in a Kart before the end of the season).

Personally I like the wild-west aspect. I don't mind being rammed, and sometimes I was able to use that person trying to ram me to actually keep a better line. I mean, sure, we can't be bashing through barriers and I wouldn't want to see someone getting hurt, but I love the competition of it!
