I understand the concrete canyon requires precision and no mistakes but there is such limited passing ability and it seems like qualifying is 90% of your chance to win (other than pit stops). If there is an accident at the start you have no place to go and anyone in the mid to back of the pack are doomed.
Am I missing something? For me, watching Long Beach is watching everyone waiting for an accident or a quick pit stop.

Long Beach is an icon of street racing in America. From the F5000 and F1 days to now, the venue, atmosphere, and much of the time, the racing have been spectacular.
