    Hey, back in the good old days when I ran pro stuff for Mitsubishi I remember the team owner telling me "If you have to bump someone out of the way to gain a place do it, we've got plenty of fenders" My proudest moment: Punting George Follmer (It's not like he hasn't punted anyone in his career) And then going up to him afterwards and saying "Gee, George I'm real sorry about that, I didn't mean to do that" to which he responded something about "paybacks being a bitch" Not sure what that meant.

    Nowadays in the autumn of my racing career ;-) Racing my own car in club racing I make every effort not to make contact. It costs me money to fix my car and I do genuinly feel bad if I damage someone elses car.

    THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!

    We (Marines) had a saying in Vietnam, "Payback is a MEDIVAC"

    I would warn people that cars can be deadly weapons, just like M16's.

    If anyone reads Randy Probst's articles, I'm sure you will agree if you are a good driver there is no need for this kind of BS on the track. But what goes around comes around.
