Was so amazed by Chastain's last lap that I replayed for my boys who are not race fans.  They both said, "This can't be real, looks like a video a game."  When I first saw it (DVR'd the race) I thought I had accidently fast forwarded the race!  Back in the day, I remember occasionaly hot rods in the Flemington pits with a real short single leaf welded on the corner of the rea bumper, passenger side.  It looked to me like, if needed, that little leaf spring would slide along the wooden fence rather than dig into it.  I imagine it was good in emergency situations only, not for use lap after lap.  Scott Ely
