i think 3 wide at daytona online in such a crowd is just asking for
trouble... if for example its just 3 or 4 cars than going 3 wide is more
reasonable, but i wouldnt do it with more cars in front and behind

The only pleasure I get from either Dega or Tona is running the high line
and passing the line huggers. If you are racing someone you can trust on
the inside then it'll usually work out ok. I passed a bunch of cars 3 or 4
times doing it. The only chance for the high groove is to pinch it and pray
:)
As for 3 wide.... HOOOOOAH AIRBORNE.. thats racing man!!
Jumping starts....John covered it so it's ok???? Again true full bodied
pickup racing tude.. You don't think I coulda held back and jumped as
well?? You don't I coulda easily wrecked both of us blocking you? See I
don't race that way and don't appreciated being raced that way. NASCAR
woulda BF'd you. Enough said..

You dropped below the yellow line at least 3 times(lap 25 and 37 for
example) , so you would have been blacked flagged in NASCAR as well, but
guess what, this aint NASCAR official rules. If you dont have to follow
those rules why do i? As for this jumping the start crap, look at my speed,
then look at the leaders speed, and the guy behind me, both were going
faster than me, you were the one pulling a kevin harvick restart. The tale
of the tape.
Mitch, I've gotta agree, hell, *alot* of the "real" race looked sorta like
ours. Talk about realism ;-)
And, in hindsight, I was so determined not to be pinched down into 3 that I
didn't use the wisest judgement I might have. I was just trying to stay out of
trouble, & ended up contributing to it :-( My apologies to any that may have
been affected. See ya at Texas.

Check that replay. I got into you because 1 was trying to pass me on the
inside below the yellow line down the backstretch and then you decided to go
to the outside and try to make me the meat in a shit sandwich. And you
weren't going "signifigantly" faster. I had checked up a bit to keep from
running into the car in front of me. You know you have to do that sometimes
when drafting in a pack. Of course it seems like some of you guys just go
balls to the wall all the time.

I was just trying to fill the space in front, anyway, as long as it wasnt an
intentional block, cool
Also, Topper spun Neil C. while racing back to the line for the last caution.
I thought that was totally uncalled for... :(
If I still run the Coca Cola race(not sure ATM), it will be invite only. I
don't want that race to deteriorate into a crashfest.
