The 1st place guy went from mid corner and pinched down toward the pipe giving Ruona almost nowhere to go. HOWEVER, if you look at a freeze frame 10 seconds in you can see Ruona turning right into the left hand turn which sends him right into the 1st place guy. The driver's stand is to the right of this camera position it looks like, so he could see exactly where he was going.

I can't tell if it's shady or just an accident.

This is the kind of thing that happens every week in club racing. The race director probably should have had a restart for a big race.

So my question to you guys is: It's a big race and this happens to you. If you come out ahead do you keep going?
