    Doesn't happen often. I've been to many sprint car races and very seldom is the racing like the video you posted. And I have still not seen a skinny tire car kill a cushion. If you jump the cushion it's just crappy traction. It doesn't really do anything to it. It just wears out and get drier the more you run on it.

      Again, if the car is on the correct tire and the track is prepared halfway decently you'll get what you saw in the video.

      And if you jump the cushion because either your car isn't handling or you can't drive, what happens to the dirt?

        Nothing. How are you going to mess the cushion up when you are driving out in no mans land?

          How do you get out to no man's land? You just don't magically appear there.

              Naah, no fight. I'm trying to walk him through what a cushion is, what it's made of, and how it gets knocked down. One step at a time.

                I thought all dirt track disagreements went immediately to WWF??

                    So why exactly does it matter if there is a cushion or not?

                        It doesn't in the context of the earlier part of the conversation. However, KTM said that I got passed on the cushion, when there wasn't one, and you asked how it gets knocked down. We are progressing through that part of the conversation at the moment. Keep up, Jr.!

                        Typically if you can keep a cushion and the low line somewhat grippy you'll have good racing and two grooves.

                          You said skinny tire cars like mine are the ones that knock it down.

                            but who cares, right?

                              Not me. I'm usually on the low side cause the skinny tire cars knock it down
