There is no way we will ever completely eliminate launching, but the bumpers and the sidepods certainly enabled a lot of side by side racing on a narrow course. There was one four car scramble involving Helio, Briscoe and two others that in the past would have resulted in four cars on the hook. As it played out today all four kept on going. The drivers know this and are now not afraid to push a bit harder.

RE: the Marco Rahal incident, Marco is an idiot if he thought he could make that next corner with as much speed as he was carrying. Dixon and Rahal were both on the brakes and Marco was trying a bonsai move. And true to form, just like his dad, he blames the other guy.

Gary, did you not see Graham change his line in response to Marco in the braking zone. It was a stupid block and the kind that should be penalized at the next race. Marco gets a lot criticism, and deservedly so on many occasions, but Graham seems to get a pass on a lot of the dumb stuff he does. His weak explanation of the incident with a smirk on his face during the telecast didn't exactly make me think he believed what he was spinning. Maybe Marco's move would have ended badly, but we'll never know because Graham changed his line to block in the braking zone and caused the accident.
