Well, I think people should be free to pursue whatever they want....but as many people have asked me this week....the way IRL is, she need to make it out of the first turn unscathed, then just keep low at least til the halfway point.
I was at that race when Robert Guerrero who set all the records crashed on the pace lap due to "cold tires"....err...driver error.
I remember watching that. Halfway down the back straight, for no reason at all, the car swerves hard to the left and into the wall, and the race hadn't even started!
