When you get stuck in the corner, sheesh.



IF you get stuck in a corner, then your opponent comes up behind ya and
WACKS ya.

This reminds me of a go-cart race I was involved in once.  9 or 10 of us
rented the place, and it turns out one person was a maniac - always
smashing into people.  Hyperaggressive when passing.  Annoyed a lot of
us.  So inevitably, he'd end up plowed into the tires head first.  But
these go carts had no reverse - to back up you had to lean forward -
like touching your toes - and pull back on the tops of the front tires,
which would slowly worm you backwards.  So you *could* extricate, it
just took 10 or 20 seconds.

Of course, when we realized this, it didn't take long to figure out that
as you went by stranded Mr. Collision, you'd fishtail a little and
*thwack* him back into the tires. >:)

Maybe I should get one o' these sets.  Where are they reasonably
priced?  Angelo, you trying to get rid of any?  We can all bring our
supercar tires and lay out a race course :)
