Yeah, I would guess you're correct about it likened to driving on ice, must
be very similar to driving a Formula car at speed in a heavy downpour of
rain. Been there done that, maybe not 200 mph, but it's gotta be similar.

I wish Nascar was more like it was back in the 60s and 70s when Bobby Alison
was driving for AMC.
Nascar today just doesn't get the blood rushing like it used to for me. .
