The problem was a couple of guys not knowing the rules or paying attention at the driver meeting. NASA does 'hot pulls' on track so, if an emergency/tow vehicle is out, you can still keep driving, just dial it back a notch and give them space to work. The two lead cars coming out of turn 10 saw the white flag/emergency vehicle and proceeded to come to a complete stop instead of driving. Not good! You just have to leave a little extra space to be ready for someone up front to do something stupid.
I still laugh when I see this. Whew! If you could zoom in through my helmet my eyes were HUGE. Glad that no love taps occurred this time around. Hope to see you out there again sometime soon! Peter
Glad to see your bumper got to live to see another day. Do you know what caused the slow up? Coming out of 10, I imagine it was either someone up front getting loose or the infamous groundhog that likes to watch the races from the front row.

XR and the one behind him were doing fine until the three Porsche drivers plugged up the way for the faster cars.
