Heard in the Stands at the Indy

We have a lot of the "rice rocket" "turbo nerd" racers or whatever you want to call them down here in Florida. My take on the situation after watching many, many of them is that #1. They have no idea how to cut a light, nor do they understand why it's important. #2. They hit the rev limiter for a second or two before shifting rather than shifting at assigned RPM points. This video supports my assumptions and is very typical of the average driver. Did you see that Mustang driver mow the tree down! Jim
