Ya know Ed, if you're gonna highlight screw-ups in the race, you
gotta show them all and in context.  There were 12 cautions, so that
tells me your "don't do this" report was incomplete.  How about all
the other incidents?

Stills from the replay are pointless because it shows just a fraction
of a second in a relatively long string of events that led to the
picture you eventually snapped.  

You're better off keeping it to factual text descriptions based on
time frame location and participants of ALL incidents, including the
resulting problems for people caught up in the incident through no
fault of their own or refusal to act according to what they see out
of their windsheild, whether they caused a caution or not.  

Some of these guys don't like being told they screwed up - even if it
was obvious that they screwed up (you should have learned that when I
did that race report last season).

This is just a little advice from someone who tried the same thing
(and imho, made a better attempt), and eventually got butt-***ed for
caring enough to try to fix it.

Well done Ed, and also well done Grub and others who responded in good
style.

Actually very few (one or two?) of these "incidents" caused a yellow...

What I wanted to do was to show another angle of things and let people
reflect over how they got into that  ["scary"] situation.

Well, apart from Grub's escapdes that is - 'cause that really pissed me off.
3 or 4 cars spun out just because he failed to stop the car [doing 12mph] -
twice.

Good to see your keeping track of things John! :o)

Ed you cry baby.

For heavens sake dude, how would you feel if you were punted a couple of
times, saw a lapped car jump the restart (you), and after the last punt,
just freeking didn't put the brake on because I thought all the cars were
already passed?
Besides, my sin wasn't as nearly as bad as your sins.

na na na na na

My goodness, i made a mistake. come on and let it die.

One thing though, please dont quit on us again.

Nobody likes quitters. :)
