During the Enduro truck race, a truck 17x ?, seemed to blow a motor. Oil completely covered the entire turn 3 and 4 area. I'd say about 6 trucks got caught up in it and hit the wall, and several hit into other trucks. I think maybe a red flag should come out in a circumstance like this, it was a dangerous scenario and a lot of trucks got wrecked because of it.
Just a thought........

I was out of the race for at least 20 laps before anyone started to wreck in turn 3 & 4. The motor had a knock, but the shock of getting stuffed in the turn 2 wall broke the motor. I was along the wall in 3 & 4, not in the groove.

I wasn't sure who it was, but there was a nasty oil slick that took out a lot of trucks. A quick break, and some speedy dry would've saved money for a bunch of truck drivers. I know we're 'enduros', but it as literally like driving on ice. A lot of guys hit the wall pretty hard. Rob, I sent a message... let me know.

It wasn't up against the wall. I watched the entire race from turn 4 and it was in the entire outside groove.

Hence the term: E-N-D-U-R-O.

Yeah I gotta admit, I was driving the race and it was slickery. But it is an enduro and you should know to slow down to get thru the bad stuff.
