Even a silly simracer like myself knew that was gonna happen before it did..
Even from TV2 view! <vbg>

Save it for later, new track banking is no excuse when its lap 3(ish).

Worst part was they claimed it was due to the spotter's radio being out.
BS, Harvick was passing them from underneath, if he didn't know they were
there then he's a complete idiot.

That is exactly what I said to my TV :-)

I agree with him being impatient. I saw the first move and thought he was
pushing it, when he went in low and fast the second time I was ready hehe,
did that a few times myself learning the new homestead track. Personally I
like the late entry then dive down at the apex to get a good run off.

His only hope of escaping this mess with any respect is to "eat crow" and
apologize to each team and maybe even buy em dinner :) Any excuses will
just make him look more foolish ;)

Yeah, and then they tried to blame it on his spotter for not being able to
contact him. He said "I didn't know there was a car above me".

LOL! He dove right under the both of them!

Now, I've done the same thing Sim racing, but didn't know the third car was
up there. It happens to us because we don't have live spotters, and we
really _can't_ see out the right side of the car half the time.

I thought it was poetic! Goodyear brought next year's softer compound tire
to Miami for a preview of next year's new ***. The idea behind it is it
will require more tire saving care (less grip on worn ***) by the driver
hence those new young aggressive drivers won't be as successful next year
because they've never had to take care of their tires like the veterans do
so how perfect was it that Harvick, Newman, and Bush were 3 wide in that
corner?

typical open server behaviour

Typical Harvick. Remember when he took a hard left from the wall towards
the pit at Fontana and absolutely wiped out Little E. Harvick was an
also ran that day and Little E was running strong.

And yet when Rudd hit Harvick you'd think it was a capital crime, the way
Harvick reacted.

by **J.D. Elli** » Thu, 20 Nov 2003 14:25:40

Just a matter of perspective. See also, Busch, Kurt...

The replays on TV clearly showed that Harvick cut a tire and the ensuing
"snap hook" into Dale Jr was un avoidable.

What was avoidable was Dale Jr's ensuing concussion that he proceeded to
hide from everyone therefore being a potential hazzard to 42 other drivers
and 43 crews on pit road.

You are absolutely right about that, but I'm sure there has to be a few
other Stupid moves by harvick that Djr's potential hazard could be traced
back to. Give me common sense with a concussion over stupid invincible rash
unpredictable childish first lap heros anyday
