Excellent point, Bill.

There is a diffrence between "keyboard analysis" and actually participating. I know you are racers and this kind of thing can happen to anyone, that is painfully obvious. It does no good to work without the facts and the actual belt in your hand to examine. To try to dissect this without all the info is nothing more than speculation. That gets pretty old!

I feel pretty certain that they (the team) would let everybody know what the findings are. It is ALL about safety! That is NOT something that they would keep locked away in the closet!

O.K. Suzie, this will be my last comment on this topic, but I'm not sure why you're getting so defensive here. Again, no one here is saying that anyone within the team did anything wrong. It truly was a fluke occurance and that's what I think concerns alot of us.

Initially there was speculation from some fans here that the team or driver was at fault. In their defense, they don't understand, nor will they until they've either been strapped in or have strapped someone they love in. Those folks are out of this discussion now.

What would be great would be if Dave Reif could do a 45 second piece with Jim or Jon (or my buddy James!)this weekend and show us both what actually happened and how they fixed it. Trust me, we would listen, learn, follow and thank them!

Bill, I am not getting defensive on this at all. As you well know, the speculators can get waaaay out of hand here. It is best to find out what happened before jumping to conclusions. That is why I keep saying that they will let everybody know when they have the answers. I bet Dave Reif is all over it! I look forward to the show this weekend.

OK, lets move on from here!
