Paul, it looks like the banking saved you from hitting the wall, just like it has every other car who has lost it in the fast first turn. The track manager says nothing but a Viper can climb that banking and hit the wall. They have done it 2 or 3 times, and nothing else has ever gone all the way up there.
Once again we got through the whole weekend without a car hitting anything like a wall (just other cars). Nowhere do we see as few damaged cars as we do at Nashville.
