I just got back home from the Greatest Show on Dirt (Which by the way is the greatest show on dirt) and I have missed some stuff. Who won the pic three for the last few weeks.

That was brutal. Elliott got damned lucky.

I've always said that they oughta quit with this bump drafting garbage. This just makes me feel even stronger about it.

I don't understand the question. Did you mean how would I feel about the wall if I was travelling 50mph faster then I normally would?  I think hitting the wall would be the same result whether it be at enduro speed or late model speed, a wrecked race car.

I've been around long enough to see the "Blue and Whites" chew up and spit out cars with no remorse. Many times in enduro we've seen cars climb the walls out of 2 or 4, sending the car onto its roof. Hell, we had that happen in our last race.

Lets not forget 2 years ago the 00 Late model blasting over the track entrance in turn 2 after brake failure. Be it spectacular and unforgettable, I still believe the walls saved his life that day. Sending the car into the air lessened the overall impact.  A perpendicular wall would of caused serious injury or death. (Kenny Irwin and Adam Petty were killed by such an impact in the early 2000's)
