Boston drivers are crazily, ridiculously good and aggressive on both the road and the track. Onramps are measured in feet, exits ten to the mile, lanes eight feet wide sometimes, and don't trust any street signs.
We have the lowest fatality rate of any state despite driving like lunatics. You'll see beat-up old clunkers with tons of rust, rotten trim falling off, no hubcaps, etc, and not a scratch on the body aside from maybe a parking ding on the bumper. This contrasts with where I live now in Texas, the home of "amateur flame surfacing".
You've got to hustle to keep up. The main reason no dominant NASCAR driver has come off of our short tracks is it takes till he's 35 before he's good enough to dominate here. Our best kart racer is nearly sixty, our best autocrosser nearly seventy - and the other claimants to those titles aren't spring chickens either.
