The left lane bit another time in this pair, Line well ahead, then suddenly going out of control at almost the same spot as Lastor, the car going to the right, crossing the centerline, then rolling over as he brought in back. Unlike Lastor, Line hit the wall hard enough to break something under the hood, causing a brief fire as the car slid down the track, upside down. The fire went out quickly and Line got out under his own power, but the new car is a mess. Terry Adams' incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.057), 330 ft(-0.044), 660ft(-0.041), 1,000ft(0.103). MOV: 0.7872 seconds (more than 100 feet). Obviously, something in the left lane is causing the cars to go to the right, but the Safety Safari and track officials have taken a long look at the racing surface after each incident and found nothing that should cause a problem. This time they are using the small "scrubber," an industrial spill cleanup vehicle that looks like a miniature Zamboni, to scrub the lane clean, then regrooming the track surface with rubber and traction compound.
