I'm glad he made the reach -- even if it was with paper weights :-)



More importantly -- I'm glad you're back on track!

Amen to all of that.

I know myself well enough to know that if I'm ever the guy causing an accident that's not clearly a "racing incident", I'll feel responsible too. But, as was said previously: some of those guys are racing cars worth more than I make in a year. How do I decide what the line is? And does that mean that if I'm not willing to give-up a year's salary (or more) if I have a brain fart, that I should stay off the track?

Like was said below, I've always believed (and taught newcomers) that if you aren't willing to leave the track without it, then you shouldn't arrive WITH it. But why would that apply to my "cheap" boxster, and not to some guy's 6-digit cup-car?

Like I said: just trying to find the line in the grey area. I think it's likely at some point that each of us experience an on-track incident that somebody would say we were at fault for.

It's a tough spot I'll find myself in when that happens to me, if I agree that I was at fault.
