We all know it was accidental. As they say, hindsight is 20/20. We can all say what we would have done, or what should have been done, but when you are up there in a race situation, sometimes you don't have time react. Luckily it was one of "our guys", and there were no problems.
One thing I have a problem with at Leisure, is "Marashalling responsibilities" I saw too many people get mad because their truck broke and leave, without sticking around an extra 8 minutes to fulfill their responsibilities. When you are done with your race, you should spend your time on the track, just like the poor guys did for your race. In one of the mains, Thrash and I were commenting on one of the marshals. He was Marshaling, and pitting durring a race. In the few seconds it took him to fuel the truck for his guy, someone could have wrecked behind him, and not been flipped over in time. Also, when he was fueling, he left the truck on the track, and even stood in the middle of the track while doing it. I think a little more care should be taken in marshalling. I know it isn't fun, but it's the price you gotta pay to race.
