In a major snow storm at track speed it is very easy to become "lost". If it wasn't for the lights from the gas station it would be nearly imposable to determine where you are at in this picture below. Trust me, I was there and am very familiar with this section of track. I am not saying that was the case though. http://dirk.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2010544
