I think I must be in the minority here. I have NO sympathy for the person in the red car. I mean he runs right into the back of the Midget, what 100' out of the pit lane! I mean Ray Charles could see this coming! The Miata is "scrubbing tires" using up the whole track, he was very consistant, we all knew what was going to happen, the red car drove right into the path of the Miata!

Now lets discuss scrubbing tires. I run an ITS car in a race group that includes, all IT plus Spec Miata, all are slower classes, so traffic can be a problem in qualifying. I make a point of getting to pre-grid first, then slowly "scrub" tires for about half a lap, that way I can get 1 maybe 2 clean laps to get a good time before getting stuck in traffic.

Is scrubbing tires illegal? NASA doesn't allow it in qualifying, probably not a bad idea.

Flame away! How big a tosser do you think I am? Or do you do the same?
