Ed: Incident Counting

by Evan Siegwort » Fri, 16 Aug 1996 04:00:00

I have a idea to make the incidents more fair.  
I was just in a race the other day at dega.  We all made it through turn one somehow.
Then during the backstraight, some guy weaves into me, causing me to spin.
I then preceeding to get hit by the whole field.
Now, it seems to me this should be counted as ONE incident.
But I got 12 counted against me.  And it wasn't even my fault.
Losing 12 points seems pretty harsh.  I don't mind losing skill points for
incidents even when its not your fault, thats racing..but to lose 12!
(luckily i was only level 3...imagine this happening to a high level driver!)

My idea is, if a incident occurs within like a second of previous it shouldn't
count, except for restarting the clock.

Make incidents truly count the number of 'incidents' and not every single
touch between cars.
