Miguel Duhamel got fairly messed up today at Road Atlanta. Not surprisingly it was in the infamous Turn 12. Have you ever watched a race there and thought "Man I sure hope nobody goes wide there...". Maybe you haven't, but I sure as heck have. Watching the bikes round that corner after the downhill and sprint for the checkered flag you can't help but notice the cement wall waiting for someone to make the smallest mistake. Sure they try to make it safe by putting up an airfence among other things, but it's just not enough. There's just no runoff and no time to slow down if you run it wide. It's a good think Duhamel is alive.
To paraphrase from Ronny Reagan "Road Atlanta, tear down that wall! Or at least move it."
