The wall around Turn 2 is just over waist high and about a foot thick. You do not want to hit the wall. Sounds simple. Yet just halfway through my 21st lap of this fifth-mile dirt oval—trapped in a crooked-cage phone booth of a sprint car with nothing but a narrow chicken-wire mesh screen ahead of me and a nearly horizontal steering wheel shaking on desiccated bushings somewhere near my knees—it becomes perfectly obvious that I am, indeed, going to hit the wall. When it comes to driving a sprint car, I have so far proven to be completely, almost hilariously, incompetent.
