Re: Motorsports Related

The technology that can allow you to crash at such speeds in an open ####pit like that is incredible. And what was Wheldon thinking in Franchitti's crash? It's like he just decide he was going to squeeze in where there was absolutely no room no matter what. Wheldon's been making some stupid moves lately, in my opinion. He's a better driver than that. I can't believe he just "misjudges" the distance between himself and another car that often. It's hard to tell from a tape if the other drivers slowed or drifted ever so slightly. Boy, talk about having to have ultimate trust in the skill and common sense of your fellow drivers, in IRL, NASCAR, or any motor sport.

When an IRL driver comes down on fellow competitor it's FAR riskier than making the same move in Nascar ,as the IRL's car's can lock wheel's so easy.

As for Wheldon I noticed that he caused another wreck yesterday ,only this time it was with Sam Hornish.

Observe
Dario Franchitti is in 1st ~518 points

Scott Dixon is in 2nd~510 points

Tony Kanaan is in 3rd~466 points

Dan Wheldon is in 4th~388 points

Sam Honrish is in 5th BUT was in 4th BEFORE Wheldon wrecked him yesterday.Maybe a warning should be sent out to Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan that they are the next victim's on hit man Wheldon's hit list.
