Okay Brad, we get it. You blame Road Atlanta’s safety measures for tearing up your car. You criticize it’s lack of SAFER barriers and say that is why it is not a track NASCAR races at. To that, I say: thank GOD! I have a hard time watching your silly tin tops rumble around on the hollowed ground in upstate New York, but for NASCAR to invade sports car territory, even if to test, just sticks in my craw. So, if you do not want to test your rumbler there, then get the hell out! Yours is not the worst crash at Road Atlanta, it is not the first big wreck, and it will certainly not be the last. Talk to Bill Auberlen or Yannick Dalmas about scary wrecks at Road Atlanta and they will tell you to switch from pampers to big boy pants. Now, I do agree that head on into a wall at any speed must be scary, but do not criticize a track that you have no business being at anyway. If you would like, visit other racing circuits in the eastern time zone. Or just pipe down, strap in, and make sure you are on good terms with your gods, your affairs, and the guy who works on your brakes. Either way, count yourself lucky before throwing one of the country’s finest racing circuits under the proverbial bus. Besides, Audi, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Honda and Mazda fit in there, not rumbling, bumbling, carbureted tin tops. In other words, know your place boy, and it ain’t at Road Atlanta!
