Rethinking the metal to metal incident policy on track?

[Maengelito]

if we're talking about racing, then shit happens. If we're talking about track days, contact shouldnt happen.

That's where I disagree. Contact shouldn't happen anywhere...

Just because it's "racing" doesn't give people license to be jackasses or explain away contact. Part of the passing rules in Cup are designed to eliminate ALL contact because people really can't afford to keep repairing their cars.

I'd agree that it shouldn't happen but it does much more frequently than in schools. Bump drafting and small nudges from what I understand are tolerated and maybe to an extent even encouraged depending on the people involved in w2w, right? Obviously, I'm not the one to ask since I've never tried. In competition, there is a winner and everyone is trying to do what it takes to be that guy. Thats going to result in aggressive behavior which sometimes results in stupid mistakes. In schools, there is no single winner, just losers if something stupid happens. Everyone is theoretically going at their own pace no matter who else is in the group.
