Stumbled upon this really great article by Randy Pobst describing what he refers to as "The Vortex of Danger"

Good article for rookies and veterans alike!

Pobst is a great guy. I met him the year i crewed for Speedsource Mazda. He made it a point to memorize every crewman’s name which is very rare for top tier drivers. Hes the ultimate professional race driver in every respect. Can learn a lot from him.
