    I'm gonna throw this out there. The ONLY reason we're talking about this is because of who's involved. I've been at a racetrack where a car wrecked (driver had a heart attack on track) and hurt 5-6 people in the pits, driver died, not a word of it on the news.

        Even of he did...all of the people who know what they're talking about in here are telling you why it's probably not intentional. They are explaining how these cars run...but you keep trying to apply your simple logic.

        Furthermore...seeing someone and having a good perception of a moving objects relative position to you are different things. With the all black gear at night...depth perception would be limited when the guy is beside you.

        Have you ever raced a dirt track? Have you ever race any even with other drivers on track?

          I would normally agree...but the way the TMS incident blew up recently makes me think it would at least get state news attention because Watkins glen is today

            What the fuck are you talking about?

            I said. I don't doubt he saw him, and the fact that the throttle snap is on film is going to cause a shit storm.

            The hell did you get all that other shit?

              Did you read to turn left = more throttle?

                I'm talking about claiming he should be in legal trouble based on what you saw when you haven't actually been in a position to know how the car behaves and handles.

                I'm also saying that even if he saw him that means very little...it doesn't mean he can predict the guy will keep charging and it doesn't mean he could tell the guy was close.

                The take away is that you don't charge another car on a track...especially on a damn turn. Letting other BS get in the way takes away from the lesson to learn here.

                  Where the hell did I "claim" that?

                  Quit filling in the gaps with your own bullshit.

                  If he meant to hit him the result would have been much more spectacular, go away and shut up.

                    Dude don't get your panties in a wad because you don't know what you're talking about. You can cry a river somewhere else...

                    It's obvious only a few people here have experience with this form of racing an neither of us are in that group. So you speculating about legal trouble does no good for the racers or the sport.

                          Maybe I should spell it out better in the case I'm not being clear.

                          You claime dthe throttle application is going to cause Stewart a lot of trouble.

                          But the "experts" here tell you that you actually steer with throttle so Tony would have been doing exactly what it took to avoid the kid.

                          Then you claim that you're sure he saw him...as if that made a difference. Let me ask...why did you even bring up the fact that he saw him?

                            Bottom line, snapping the throttle whe next to him is what will cause Stewart to be in a world of shit.

                            What other trouble would he be in? Are you not reading the news in comments? But you're correct in that I inferred you meant legal trouble.

                                And my point is that if you listen to what's being said here...you turn with throttle, so how is he doing anything less than what is required to avoid the kid?

                                You're focusing on your preconceived ideas before you understood the situation better.

                                Answer the questions...

                                What does seeing him matter and why is it bad that he used throttle?
