    He meant to wreck him. Doesn't matter how the actual wreck occurred. It's stupid. And I guess it's going to take someone getting killed as a result of something like this to realize no grudge is worth having someone get hurt or killed. There are enough wrecks that occur in this sport that are not intentional and make it dangerous.

    Keslowski flipped Edwards in to the stands last year and had hit him several other times. I'll bet he won't do it again -NASCAR had announced before the year that the drivers were to take the gloves off and settle things on the track, just like the old days when they were popular, before pansies like Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson came along. Carl is not a bad guy. If he knew that car would flip he would not have done it. His intend was to spoil Keslowski's finish.
    Most of the people complaining are people who aren't fan's of racing.

    Two wrongs don't make a right. And you don't have to be a race fan to understand it's not a safe practice. There were a lot of things in the old days that we don't do now because we realized how dumb they are. Sounds like this should be one of them. Eh, maybe it's me. I don't think having some concern for safety makes someone a pansy. I think it would be just as "entertaining" to have the drivers pull each other out of their cars in the pits and beat the crap out of each other. Then it's between them and there are no innocent bystanders, other drivers, etc. at risk.
     
  4. Leave your philosophy in the head next time. The G man is fairly right here.

    Wings flipping cars is just soft science, and a convenient scapegoat. A wing going in the wrong direction is just an inefficient wing. Air will still flow faster over the top than the bottom resulting in lift, just much less of it. (its still lift here, although they refer to it as downforce because the lift is being applied towards the ground instead of away from it.)

    The issue here is air building under the back of the car as it goes backwards at 200mph. With no way to diffuse the air pushing under the car the car will be lifted. Its the only possible result, unless the car slows. A spoiler could cause more air to be pushed under the car, as it doesn't allow wind to pass through, it would make the deck pushing against the air another few inches taller. Its backwards angle might even present yet another surface for force to be applied to.

    How about some anecdotal evidence that the wing isn't the issue? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkUg9MV3DhQ

    None of those cars appeared to have wings. And while frequently the video is featuring a collision/impact induced flip, there are very many aerodynamic flips on display. Many of the highlighted situations almost exactly parallel to what people are so stunned about with the wing.

    oddly enough the roof flaps as well did not perform their job as they have in the past.

    Don't change it - We'll just change his or her gender as necessary
