3. Sometimes there are going to be fast cars in the other lane. If I am working on the suspension on my 10 second ride, I do not even worry about a reaction time. I might leave a full 2 seconds after you. I could pass you at half track coming up on 100 MPH, go sideways hitting third, and I will hit your car pretty hard no matter how slow you are. It is part of the risk that comes with racing.

Don't race the car unless you are prepared to crash and or break it AND fix it without the help of insurance.
