After looking at all those high-sides. It looks to me asphalt is a lot less forgiving then clay. Some are caused by a sudden throttle chop. Maybe they could have ridden it out. Others just happen so fast I don't believe anyone has the reaction to save it or convert it into a lowside.

I heard lots of talk at the American Flat Races that road racers are spending time in the dirt to improve their skills for the asphalt.
