Watch formula one auto racing- when there's a shunt , there's CF shards
thrown all over hell and gone. Why they don't require a kevlar wrap to
contain the crap is beyond me though I suspect that the shedding of parts
is their way of shedding energy at the same time. BTW the f-1 season
starts this week. Despite the past several seasons being about as exciting
as watching kudzu grow, I'm still watching...sigh. Pat


I thought they *did* require a Kevlar wrap. They did in IRL, when I was
writing about it.
