Doncha just hate when that happens? I frequently qualify at/near the
front at Sears and Watkins Glen, and I almost ALWAYS get punted at turn
one because some moron a few rows back mixes stupidity and common sense
with a severe lack of depth perception, and plows through the field,
taking out the cars in the first three rows.
Pickup racing sucks, has always sucked, and will continue to suck.
