This is my point exactly... I for one have trouble on that back corner, and know all too well how easy it is to get turned over there. But 5 trucks flipped in the same spot... This only happens when
1.) there aren't enough people marshalling, or the marshalls aren't paying attention ( That is not aimed at you Rocco, so please do not take offense)
2.) Drivers are not paying any attention to what is going on in front of them.
I know it isn't always easy to "Look ahead" on the track, but in High Crash areas, it should come natural to know, or at least try to see, what is in front of you. More times than not, most of the wrecks Saturday were due to people not caring about anything but getting around the track fast, and not being courteous of other drivers or Marshalls. What happened to the Rule of thumb, "If someone behind you is faster, let them pass" rather than block them and cause a crash.
