I certainly appreciate your explanation, it makes more sense than the other crap flying around here........
Well I spent a year trying to avoid hitting cars on a dirt track in a factory stock car that is way slower and far more controllable than one of these insane 800horsepower rockets.... Another factor that anybody that has never been on a dirt track would never realize is that the track is continually changing, all night long... I raced the same track for a season, and that track was different every time I raced it and it was different each time you got on it a given night...
At practice one weekend, I saw a flagman run out in front of a sprint car coming out of turn 4 because one wrecked in turn 1 and the sprint car driver spun the car and rolled it all the way down the front stretch, still not sure how he missed the flagman to this day... These cars are completely out of control when they are racing, and in reality the driver probably has more control of the car, as far as knowing how its going to react to any given action, than he does at lower speeds.
