Why did we stand out on the asphalt in the old days? Look at this picture. Most drivers steered toward the center of the track (see attachment) when they were in trouble. They didn't want to get into the weeds. Remember, there were no guard rails in those days. 'Course there were those drivers who didn't have any fear, but you knew who those drivers were and you compensated for them. Isn't that right, Tom West, John Ewald, and others? We had no fear because we thought we knew the drivers and their cars. We were DUMB. <g>
