Try running with 'em at night at Moroso in the 24-hour race. UGH!
After a couple hours in the dark, all of their wire-tied, duct-taped, podunk lights would be pointing all over the place. Must have been a joy for the SRF drivers to have the clouds illuminated instead of the racetrack. Sure looked weird from the our perspective.
All we could see from the IT cars were bobbing, vibrating lights in the mirrors. Light patterns that made no sense, and changed lap to lap on the same car.
You would go to let what looked like one by, only to find there was a string of 8 of them together, running in a train. Some of them were aggressive to the point of stupidity.
Usually took half the race for everyone to get settled and stop plowing each other off into the pucker brush.
After that experience, running in the daylight with them wasn't such a problem as long as you paid attention and looked for the little buggers.
