Very true. I remember driving in Rack 'n Roll. Did it happen constantly? Not really. But enough? Oh yeah. Open field it's not big a deal (but don't forget <G34>). But in a narrow lane or even a crowded rack...you'd be amazed at the things that don't seem to matter until your hand's on a joystick. And it effects more drivers (though less for the better practiced) than one could probably pick up from video archives. It certainly should monopolize your overall strategy, but I wouldn't ignore it. (practice, practice, practice)
