When I broke the front axle and blocked the left front wheel from that, I f=

Wouldn't made me happy to touch any guard rails.

Back when the "blue bush" was installed, many of us no longer raced there..=

It was like racin in a blue alley...drop a wheel and total your car as it p=
inballed across the track. 

Never raced there again

You guys have a lot of nothing down there, sure makes it easier to avoid st=
uff. At Watkins Glen, with the guardrails about one car width off the track=
, it's more like   

" If you spin, they're towing you in"
