It's been too long ago for me to remember the timeframe was between the track being ready and the race taking place. Even if they did test, and I know nothing about CART testing, who knows if a testing session lasts as long as a practice session? They may not have been on the track long enough per session for the effects to set in. It was a gradual "head-drain" not one corner and bam, passed out. They obviously were at the threshold of whatever G loads drain out the blood and the high straight speeds werent allowing enough time to fully "replenish" one corner's worth of drain. It's a truly freakish thing IMO, and IMO one of the most notorious moments in US racing history in which no one died. Obviously it has never happened before, and like all other lessons-learned, it has to happen once before people plan for its prevention in the future. Hell, you live there, you dont remember all this? Or are/were you not a CART aficionado?
