haha, good point rofl but I'd wager Nissan left track prep to the magazine. If C&D didn't check the condition of the vehicle (esp the brakes), shame on them. After all the negativity published after the incident...if it turns out to be C&D's fault, it really makes them look like amateurs. Bring back Don Sherman!

There is no track prep for stock cars - but they SHOULD have checked the brakes for safety's sake, thats for sure...

yah, that's wat posted earlier and someone zapped my post. common sense areas to check on a tracked car are condition of BRAKES AND TIRES... can't believe people forgot that and put a driver in the car.

Ya Bobo, prep in this case meant simple common sense.
