In the event that a 4000# 145 mph car goes THROUGH my Turismo, I don't think I stand a chance no matter what I'm wearing. But that's a different topic.

No Bob we don't, however I've yet to run against a 9sec stocker anyway. Every car I've had to line up next to (so far) has been a 10 sec. or slower roller. Besides, if their cars safety equipment matches their performance (they shouldn't be on the track if it doesn't), then they should stay in their own lane, as I have been in mine...no harm, no foul.

Hey Jim,see if you can find Gary a hat like this for the 2012 season.It would be appropriate for that rocket car he drives in his own lane.
