Everyone is going to cause a wreck at some point. And at Martinsville
the chances are pretty good that no matter how clean of a driver you
are, you are going to bump into someone.

Again, for any short track you better check your fealings at the door.
Contact is going to happen.

Well, short track racin is tough especially on the computer. What we dont
want is a free pass for everyone to be bumping, smashing, and moving people
around at the next "short track" race and chalk it up as 'short track
racing technique'. I gotta say that I dont have a dog in this fight, but I
might at the next short track. I believe Tim had a legitimate reason to be
miffed. I would hope that us rascar sim racers would have more patence at
the beginning of these races so that everyone can have some fun until the
"moving out of the way" starts towards the end of the 'short track' race.
My 3 cents.

I am not saying Tim doesn't have a valid gripe, I would have been
upset also. I also don't believe that anyone took the fact that it
was a short track to beat and bang around. I think everyone was
trying to run a clean race which just isn't completely possible at
Mart. Actually, if you look at the number of cautions we had it was
pretty much par for the course, and considering it was Mart. we
actually did better.

True. It was better than average.
