[Jason Oldfield]

I don't know of any written or unwritten rule as to who has the right of way, but I know that I won't turn off or go into another guy's lane unless I see him and basically made eye contact with him. I'm not one of the fastest cars usually, but I almost always take it to the sand trap, even if I do need to get back on the gas (my local track has a 3500 ft. shutdown, and I routinely need to get back on the gas there). I just figure that it is safer than taking one of the earlier turnoffs (by taking an earlier turnoffs you also have the possibility of getting clipped by somebody already coming down the return road).

Anyway, sorry to hear about your misfortune Steve and thanks for clearing the air.

Just be careful out there everyone...
