25 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2taking the upper groove Explanation: One major complaint is that you still cannot get anywhere "rim riding" - that is, taking the high line around a track. http://www.amazon.com/review/R3LIVKAKOQ1HOB Many memories, the duels between Bruno Brackey and George Kaufman. Tiny Milano, "Doggie" Hewitt (rim riding on outside), the ever consistent Howie Brown. http://www.3widespicturevault.com/FRONT PAGE STUFF/Weisglass... The CoT typically loosens up in corners, which makes it difficult for Junior to run his typical rim-riding groove against the outside wall. http://m.si.com/news/wr/wr/detail/2383277;jsessionid=E4F0409... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2010-02-25 20:49:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- When a NASCAR track has two grooves, the one on the outside is referred to as the upper groove, and the one on the inside is called the lower groove. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-racing/nascar/race-tracks... |
