Yeah, I talked to walnut this morning - the chest tube goes in today. They use it to create a suction, and let the lung fill up the pleural cavity so that it will heal up. It's a pretty straight-forward procedure, and it's supposed to be very effective - they just didn't want to cut the hole if they didn't have to.

One of the two guys that tangled with Walter pulled a bone-head move at that same corner with me on the first lap of the heat race - charged in there without enough room to get around on the outside, and ended up taking a trip through the grass. Turn 4 is not an ideal place to pass on the outside.

...But I didn't see the Walter incident.
