    NASCAR at COTA, Austin Texas road course, What a HOOT!!

    Road course with long straights. Wide paved run off
    areas that are nicely painted red, green, white etc.
    Then lots of dry tan rocks and dirt.
    I'm normally more of a purist, wishing clean
    and fast driving. But this was a HOOT!

    Cars were 4 and 5 wide, beating and banging on each other.
    If you asked the drivers, I'm sure many might remember
    hearing someone, a long time ago, talking about
    'track limits', but that was just theoretical and
    aspirational shit.

    These new cars with their defusers can move almost
    as much rocks and gravel onto the track as a front loader.

    These drivers, were in a hurry to get ahead and
    get to that checkered flag!!!
