The funny thing about it was both of them sitting on the chip the whole time. I like the idea of no driver aids.. I just wish they would have also done away with the two step altogether for the automatic drivers. Now lets get rid of reaction times on the time slip!!!

Lee,
Are you really serious about getting rid of reaction times too? Because my father and I have said that for years!! I didn't think the blinder was a safety issue. But I dont think they are doing it for those reasons.
